The pattern is Cable Cowl knitting with 2 strands throughout of Wisdom Yarns Ballad Merino Wool.
Someone had posted a question about knitting a cowl using 20 stitch cables and they did not reference a pattern. I started poking around ravelry.com and found this pattern and just had to make it. And those are 20 stitch cables, biggest cables I ever made.
I used a provisional cast on and finished with the Kitchener stitch, both new techniques for me. Initially I had a bit of trouble with the Kitchener stitch; the stitches were too slippery on a metal needle and I ended up placing the stitches on wood dpns using point protectors on one end to act as a stop (I didn’t have wood needles in the size I knitted with).
This is so warm and cozy I don’t want to take it off, it’s like a warm
for my neck. I will probably block it tomorrow and will post more pictures after.
Love the periwinkle color too!
