There are days, weeks, months, years, when we can all use an extra bit of comfort. I designed this cowl in just such a moment. I started with a skein of the coziest, smooshiest yarn around, with little more than a plan to turn to the comforting act of creating to soothe my soul.

The result was this cowl. It’s nice and tall, allowing the wearer to really snuggle into it, adorned with some simple cables, just enough to keep you interested while you drink a cup of tea, watch a movie, or read your favorite book. So if you find yourself in need of some comfort, or know someone else who needs the same, grab your yarn and needles and just breathe.

This pattern is perfect for you if:

  • You have that single skein of super soft single-ply yarn that you just don’t know what to do with.
  • You enjoy cabling or are a cabling beginner who wants to practice a new skill
  • You are looking for an easy to memorize pattern that produces a luscious accessory

This pattern is not for you if:

  • You don’t know how to cable
