As with many of my cowl designs, this one features a flared bottom, which enables the cowl to stay in place under a garment. Cascade Yarns’ Woolpaka Lite, a DK-blend of wool and alpaca was the perfect choice for this accessory, which I would classify as an adventurous beginner/intermediate-level pattern. Some cable knitting experience would be ideal.

I used - and recommend - Cascade Yarns WOOLPAKA LITE, 60% Peruvian Wool / 40% Superfine Alpaca; 100g (3.5oz), 292yds (267m): 1 skein of Color #04
