Beeswax Cowl

Introducing the Beeswax Cowl, a beautifully designed and cosy neck-warmer that is both stylish and functional. This generously-sized accessory is the perfect matching complement to the popular Beeswax Hat and Mitts, creating a cohesive look that's ideal for chilly days. The cowl features a stunning double-layered honeycomb pattern, which flows gracefully into and out of elegant ribbed edges, making it a standout piece in any winter wardrobe.

The unique honeycomb texture is crafted using simple mini-cables that can be knit without the need for a cable needle, streamlining your crafting experience. To make it even easier, I've included detailed instructions for my favourite twist method, which many find intuitive and easy to remember. However, if you have your own preferred technique, feel free to use that as well!

For this project, you'll need 2 skeins of Vintage Purls Max yarn (75% merino, 25% nylon; 227 yards/208 meters per 100g skein), or a total of 330.5 (425 yards/302.5 (389 meters) of DK or light worsted weight yarn. The sample colorway is a delightful 'Toffee Deluxe,' but you can choose any colour that inspires you!

Additionally, you'll require a cable needle (optional), an end-of-round stitch marker, and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends. The cowl is designed to fit sizes 1 (2) and is relaxed after blocking, measuring 24.5” / 62 cm in circumference and 10” (12.75”) / 25.5 (32.5) cm in length from cast-on to bind-off.

To cater to all knitting preferences, this knitting pattern comes with both charted and written instructions, ensuring that you have the guidance needed to create this exquisite Beeswax Cowl. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to enhance your skills, this pattern is your perfect project for adding warmth and style to your look.
