One of my favorite knitting techniques is making cables. There’s just something about making the stitches wander around on the surface of the fabric that really draws me in and compels me to keep knitting. It’s really difficult to put my work down when I want to do “just one more stitch”!

This Entangled Braids Knit Cowl might do the same for you! You’ll easily get lost in your knitting as you fall into the rhythm of the stitches. This knit cowl is designed so that you can make the cowl as wide a circumference as you prefer. You can do only a few pattern repeats for a single wrap cowl, or you can repeat as many times as you like for a double wrap cowl, or even a triple wrap cowl! If you like an open ended scarf, simply leave the ends apart. In pictures shown, I used approximately a 40” wide circumference.

The pattern includes written instructions, a chart with legend, an abbreviation key with detailed instructions for each type of cable used in the pattern, and links to helpful tutorial videos. I am always available for support with my patterns because I want you to have success! You can contact me through Etsy or through my Facebook page at Knitting Knicely.
