CEANGAL COWL is super-soft cozy cowl created by knitting two rectangular pieces and linking them together. “Ceangal” is the Irish work for “link/connection” and completely describes the construction of this cowl! Using a provisional cast on, each link is worked flat with the light fingering/lace weight cashmere blend yarn held double throughout the project. Video tutorials walk you through the entire process of making the cowl.
