This eye-catching cowl is designed using lace weight yarn held double, resulting in a delicate yet cozy accessory. It showcases intricate cables and charming pleats, making it a visually striking piece. For the best results, we recommend using a yarn that has a slight halo and drape, which adds to the overall aesthetic. Throughout the knitting process, increases are skillfully worked on the purl sections between the cables, and the finishing touch features delightful pleats and a series of horizontal cords. Finally, you will sew the ends together to complete this charming piece.
