See the matching Beveled Hat

The Beveled Cowl features four colours of cables woven together forming a bold, graphic motif.

Despite being worked in fingering weight yarn, this cowl is surprisingly squishy and warm. The project is worked entirely with a marl, 2 yarns held together. You will simultaneously create a garter stitch layer and a layer of interwoven cables.

The motif magically emerges as you repeat the small cable pattern. The colourwork design is established in the setup rounds and is worked without bobbins or floats.

If you are making both the Hat & Cowl, knit the Cowl first.

The technique used is Four-Colour Two-Pass Woven Knitting. The Beveled Tutorials walk you through each round of the woven motif.
