This accessory was inspired by a certain singersongwriter’s album called Folklore. This cowl uses similar stitch patterns and has a similar look to a sweater she wore at the end of the of a video as the same name of our contrast color, Cardigan. You can also find matching hat & cardigan patterns. This classic cable & texture cowl is knit in in the round in one piece. Knit this cowl and be your own star!
Finished Measurements: 30" circumference x 10.25" depth

I bought this and was VERY dissapointed with the needle size being incorrect, it states us size 8 4mm. Size 8 is 5mm size 6 4mm, there is also a typo on page 4 ktog, no idea how many to knit together, it makes sense it would be two, however this is a $ 6.00 pattern, not a $ 1.99 from a discount website. No corrections are listed on their website. I will not buy patterns from this designer again. To much money for 2nd rate proof reading. Jimmy Beans has never let me down till I bought this.
Well written and easy to follow. Knits into a lovely child's keepsake sweater. This took me about 2 weeks to complete and I thoroughly enjoyed working on it. However, I didn't follow the advice of many knitters on Ravelry and add 5 knit stitches @ the beginning and end of each row to eliminate casting on for the button band. I wish I had...Will do on next one I make. I can see that being a huge time saver. I made sleeve to fall right above elbow. My daughter is six, but the size 4 was perfect fit on her. Ready to start on adult version next.
