O Why Knot! Cowl

Cables can produce a fabulous texture and depth and when I came across this lovely cable stitch with so much variety I thought, O Why Knot! The cables have a wonderful richness and movement, and create a beautiful fabric with that continuous flow. It's an easy stitch pattern to memorise, yet has enough variety happening that it is sure to entertain and is a great project to practice knitting without a cable needle.

O Why Knot! Cowl is worked in the round until the full back depth is reached. Once the back is bound off, the front section is knit flat, working decreases and finishing with a final point. The front, flat section can be knit with circulars or straight needles, whichever is most comfortable.

SIZE: 26”/65 cm circumference, 10”/25 cm deep at back and 20.5”/51.5 cm full depth at front.

The pattern includes both charts and written instructions.

Sample shown in Rowan Baby Merino Silk DK, in colour 685/Emerald.
