VINE ROSE COWL (formerly Mithras) features an all-over, cable-like texture that is simple to memorize and knit. The results are remarkably beautiful for an uncomplicated project.

Beginner knitters looking to try cables would find this an interesting starting point. Experienced knitters can handle this as a quick knit amidst other involved knits.

Many thanks to Sweet Georgia Yarns who had earlier published this pattern in their HOL’18 Collection. I had the opportunity to work with their lovely Superwash Worsted for this project.

This cowl is knit in the round, and features narrow reverse stockinette stitch borders. The pattern is now re-written for worsted and bulky weight yarns.
