Cowls are an easy and stylish alternative to scarves this season!
This one features a wonderfully easy double cable pattern to add lots of textural interest.
It knits up quickly in the round (no seams!) and can be worn like a folded-over turtleneck or scrunched down for a cool, slouchy look.
A great quick gift knit using less than 3 hanks of Cadena yarn from Knit Picks!
The cable pattern really is easy, despite how it looks. . . great for the knitter wanting to try out cables for the first time!

This is a cowl you could wear anytime and anywhere the weather permits. The pattern was easily attainable, instant download, well written and easy to understand. I highly recommend it.

This pattern results in a very wearable, soft and stylish cowl that gets you many, many compliments! It's so soft and comfortable! I have had many requests for this one, but for now, it's all mine!

Haven't actually made it as it's just too busy with Christmas right now, but it's high on my to do list. This looks pretty easy, cozy and comfortable. Can't wait to get started!

This pattern was chosen by a city person in her 30's, very astute regarding fashion - she bought the yarn recommended, and loved it. It was to be a gift from me - it was an easy quick knit. It has been worn a great deal (unlike many of my knitted gifts!) The recipient comments on its cosiness, it makes her feel hugged and comforted, but she also comments on its versatility - because of the pattern, it can be worn in many different ways, for different effects and different uses; she attributes its continued use to this factor above all. Thank you for the part you played in this young woman's affection for me as the person who gave her this gift!

The cowl looks amazing. It doesn't appear to be too difficult to make. And it looks like it will be very warm as well.
