The Faceted Cowl features four colours of cables woven together, forming an argyle-like motif. The cowl is written in two sizes and is adjustable; Version A is deep and has a smaller circumference; Version B is long and skinny – ideal for wrapping twice around your neck.

You will simultaneously create a garter stitch layer and a layer of interwoven cables. The project is worked entirely with a marl, 2 yarns held together, creating a squishy yet drapey fabric.

The motif magically emerges as you repeat the small cable pattern. The colourwork design is established in the setup rounds and is worked without bobbins or floats.
