In a design that is reminiscent of rabbit tracks running through a winter forest, plaited cables are interspersed with delicate lace insets in this warm and cozy cowl. It’s the perfect last-minute, one-skein gift. This cowl was created to be a companion piece to our Creekside Cables Hat, utilizing the last of the yarn from that project.
