A cozy, textured cabled cowl in DK yarn—perfect for a stylish, compact layer under your coat.

Sometimes all you need are some artfully arranged cables and a bright pop of color to chase away the winter blues! Designed for structured warmth without bulkiness, this cowl hits the sweet spot between shawl comfort and knittable convenience. Intermediate knitters familiar with cables will find this project both rewarding and quick to complete.

This cowl is knit flat from border to border. Several button placement options are provided. Depending on the style you choose, you will need one or more 1” buttons to complete the look.

Sample cowl is styled using an InstaButton - easily style cowls and scarves in a variety of ways without commitment to a specific button placement.

The cables used in this cowl are demonstrated in this video .

Cable pattern is charted and written.
