Doubling Dune
When I was learning to knit during what feels like the Dark Ages, I remember watching my beloved Gran skillfully work with cable stitches. I was both fascinated and a bit intimidated! The intricate look of cable patterns truly captivated me, yet I never believed I would be capable of creating something so beautiful myself, especially at just 8 years old. However, once I finally mustered the confidence to try my hand at cable stitches, I discovered a newfound passion that has stayed with me ever since!
One of my favorite techniques is working with Sand Cables, and the Doubling Dune Cowl is my very first pattern from my Dune Collection, which beautifully showcases this soft and meandering cable design. If you are looking for a project that combines elegance and ease, then this cowl is perfect for you!
This stunning accessory uses DK yarn, making it an excellent one-skein wonder that offers tremendous value. While the cable stitches are versatile enough to adapt to any DK yarn, they truly shine in yarns that possess a slight halo. For those wanting to elevate their project further, consider knitting your go-to DK yarn together with a lace weight mohair for an added touch of luxury and softness.
This gorgeous, cozy cowl not only looks great on everyone, but it is also accessible to knitters of all skill levels. It's a fun and relatively quick project that is ideal for a weekend of crafting. Additionally, the Doubling Dune Cowl makes for a perfect gift that is sure to impress friends and family!
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your journey, this pattern offers a delightful blend of ease and sophistication. Grab your needles and get ready to create something special! Happy Knitting!
