Banjara means “wanderer” in Hindi (also a pretty cool bollywood song) and it seemed perfect for this cowl because of the wandering cables that give it it’s understated beauty. The wandering cowl is written for 500 yards of DK weight yarn for a cosy, highly textured and versatile accessory. Worked seamlessly in the round, 1x1 cables create “wandering” lines of texture. Each knit stitch is worked through the back loop for extra definition. The resulting cowl is generously sized and easy to wear. This pattern works well with both gradients and semi solid yarns.

Update coming shortly as well; I am working on a fingering weight version :smile:
