The Cedarvale Cowl is a short cowl worked in the round and featuring 2×2 cables that work up to resemble wheat sheaves or the vaulting in gothic architecture. Each row of the pattern repeat is easy to memorize, giving you a visually complex surface texture that’s straightforward to knit.
This pattern is for you if… You are an unabashed lover of mini-cables and ample negative space that sets them off.
Move along if… Lots and lots of cables are not your idea of a good time.
