This cowl is created from only knit and purl stitches, but the outcome looks like a mock cable weaving in and out of purl ‘fences’. This is a very easy and quick knit, but it is still enough to hold your interest. The lines of the ‘fences’ inspired me to call this Clatrum which is Latin for “bars or railings”.
