Criss-cross cowl
This criss-cross knitting pattern makes a wonderfully luxurious cowl. The tiny cables will initially keep you on your toes, but once you get the hang of them they’re a breeze and a joy to work with. It’s the perfect pattern for learning to cable without a cable needle.
The pattern includes full instructions for TWO versions of this cowl - a structured version from a wonderful hand-dyed merino wool, and a beautiful relaxed version made from 100% silk.
