THIS PATTERN IN NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM SHIBUI KNITS

Cozy, comfortable, and chic this cabled cowl (say that 3x fast!) is a fun and fast knit. 4x4 rib transitions to 2x2 rib and back again to 4x4 in staggered tiers, providing visual interest and an unusual combination of body and drape. Perfect for cool days at the Coast, Astoria will keep your neck warm in style!

Knit with 2 skeins of Shibui Knits Merino Alpaca, shown in “Ivory”.

Available June 2011, in the Shibui Knits booklet Shibui Texture.
