Mill Cowl
The fabric of this cosy cowl uses Garter Stitch knitted on the bias, to add oodles of drape. One edge of the Mill Cowl is finished with a cable, for a knitterly touch.

This cowl can easily be knitted slightly larger, just use a thicker yarn and go up a few needle sizes – please bear in mind that doing so will alter your yarn requirements.
