Pattern Notes

  • Find the yarn featured in this pattern here.

  • When finished, this cowl measures 25” in circumference and 7.5” deep.

  • This cowl is worked in the round, so be sure to place a stitch marker at the beginning of every round.

  • Some knitters like using a cable needle for the cables required in this pattern, and others don’t. Use whichever method suits you!

  • To modify the circumference of the cowl, cast on in multiples of eight. To modify the depth, work more cable repeats.

Finishing

Bind off all stitches in rib. Cut yarn, and weave in any ends.


Blocking isn’t necessary for this cowl, but will allow the cables to lay nice and flat. I like to pin the cowl on blocking mats, spritz with water, and let air dry.


Lastly, enjoy and show off your beautiful new cowl, or gift it to someone special. If desired, share it on Instagram using the #thegracefultangle and tag @thegracefultangle! Next, check out the Thankful Beanie pattern here!
