After knitting the Sunnyside Baby Cardigan for my sister-in-law with sock yarn, and the Bella Shrug with DK weight yarn for Martha Stewart's granddaughter, I needed a QUICK project.
My dear friend Surya of Sew Knit Click and I have been drooling over a few chunky cowls on Etsy, so I figured I'd work up a pattern and give one a shot. Besides, Spring's nearly here, and I still have four skeins of Cascade Yarns' Magnum staring at me. I chose the soft Doeskin Heather colorway to really show-off the cabling. You'll notice that I switched from cables to 1x1 ribbing. The cabling cinches the stitches so much that the width of that section is a few inches less than that of the ribbed section.
I am really pleased with this one. I also plan to use this pattern for my beginner knitters to teach them ribbing and basic cables.
