This pattern came into being because I needed a cowl and I needed it fast! I love cables but wanted something easy, quick, and fast to work up. Using a traveling stitch creates a cabled look without the work, and results in a fully reversible cowl that is versatile, easy to make, and great to wear.

This pattern is written for Bulky or Super Bulky Yarn and contains both written and charted directions.
