Need a quick project? This is it. Super bulky yarn and a simple reversible cable pattern will get you cozy warm in no time at all.

When designing the cowl, I used a superwash wool-blend yarn (WOOLADDICTS Fire by Lang). Superwash wool and wool-blend yarns often grow when blocked, so the gauge that I have indicated (12 sts/4”) was measured after blocking. This is important! If you are using a non-superwash wool or wool-blend, you will likely need larger needles than the US 11/8mm indicated in the pattern (all of this is written in notes in the pattern).

I have included links to the 3 Kittens Needle Arts YouTube channel within the pattern for video tutorials for: tubular cast on for 1x1 ribbing, tubular bind off for 1x1 ribbing, and tips on weaving in ends invisibly.

Materials needed for cowl:

• Approximate 150 yards super-bulky yarn (2 balls WOOLADDICTS Fire)
• US 11/8mm needles - 29-32” circulars or size to obtain gauge
• cable needle
