This pattern is published in 52 Weeks of Shawls by Laine Publishing.

Feste is a delicate cowl with reversible, cabled texture, Japanese-inspired twisted rib and lace, and a lovely chunky cable. The cowl is worked from the bottom tip up, first flat and then in the round. As much a woolen piece of jewelry as a layering piece, it can be worn indoors and outdoors, on festive and casual occasions alike. You can knit Feste either in bold or subdued colours, both will work beautifully.
