Ball & Skein Cable Cowl Pattern

This cowl shows off simple cables and bobbles for a fun piece that fits comfortably around the neck. The pattern looks very challenging, but in fact uses basic cable techniques. It is knit in the round with a charted pattern with no top or bottom when wearing it. Although cabling does take a bit more time to work the outcome is just lovely.
