This cabled cowl is pure fun to knit and makes a suitable accessory for every coat, every sweater and every head. Features a falling cabling filleed with basket-braided simple cables.

A tubular cast-on produces a beautiful, durable and elastic hem, and the pattern is stretchy enough to accommodate most adult necks, however two sizing options are given. The cable motifs are worked entirely from charted instructions.

Matching Maude Hat is also available as a single pattern and with Maude Cowl as an ebook in discounted price.
