A flowy, undulating cable motif with dropped stitches adds dramatic drape, light, and texture to this versatile cowl. It can be worn folded over for a polished and more contained look, or left open to fall at will for a more fluid accent piece. The stitch pattern looks hard, but is easy to work and yields a complex and sophisticated cable that really complements a gorgeous handdyed yarn such as this one.

The pattern is easy to modify for either length or width, and directions are included to make a longer or wider cowl if desired.
