The Golden Hour- the time of daylight just after sunrise or before the sun sets- transforms the light and how you see a face, a tree, a mountain. To me, it’s the best light.

The Golden Hour cowl is named for that special “in between” time, when my surroundings appear just a bit more magical to me.

You’ll work the cowl from the bottom up, in the round. Choose either a long-tail cast on or a double-start caston method. Pattern includes links to video tutorials for both of these cast ons. Work a set-up round in which you establish the ribbing and cable patterns and place markers. If you’re unfamiliar with cable stitches, check out the links to video tutorials for each of the two cable stitches used in the pattern.

One size: Finished circumference: 29” (74 cm), Height:8.25” (21 cm)

Gauge: 4” (10 cm) = 22 sts, 36 rnds in cable pattern chart AFTER blocking. Exact gauge is not critical, but it may affect your finished measurement and amount of yarn used.

I used Size 7 (4.5 mm) 24” (60 cm) circular needle.

Notions: cable needle, yarn needle, 9 stitch markers

I used Woolfolk’s Far Yarn, Color 27, (142 yards/130 m, 50 g). Two skeins required. Total yarn used: 96g.

You can substitute any worsted weight yarn for the Woolfolk Far yarn.
