It’s hard to find a bulky yarn that can take a detailed cable, but this Elemental Bulky has fantastic stitch definition and loves a little texture.

Rum Toddy showcases a beautiful repeating cable detail, featuring both bold crosses and detailed ribs. The cowl is designed so the pattern begins and ends symmetrically for balance, and this incredible Cormo fiber feels cozy and soft and squishy against your neck.

One of the things I love about this cowl is the different ways it can be worn and folded over - look how Jill, Maya, and Helen all wear the same size cowl in different ways!


Cowl is knitted from the bottom up, in the round.

There are detailed notes in the pattern about adjusting your cowl for either depth or circumference. and the cable pattern is both charted and written.
