Selsey Cowl is a soft, lightweight cowl with delicate texture. It is knit in the round and features stretchy ribbing with rolled-edge detail at both ends, a round of purl stitches framing the ribbing, and a scattering of textured ‘mock cable’ stitches throughout the body. The pattern repeat is easy to memorise and quick to knit, without the need for the cable needle! The size can be easily adjusted and you’ll find helpful information within instructions.
