INFO
This cowl design is really special to me. When my lovely son Jess, asked me for a snug and warm cowl I couldn’t resist to create something new for him. He chose the swatch of this cable pattern.

Pure Jess is a unisex cowl and can easily be knitted in other fibers or gauges for an equally impressive result. The design is as well suited to tonally dyed fibers as it is to solid hues. This is a fun and addictive knit and even the ‘wrong’ side has a fun pattern.

YARN
Pascuali Tibetan (70% merino/30% yak, 50 gr-137yds/125m).
Sample yardage 341 yds/312m in color Cloud #135, 3 balls.
Or any DK weight yarn: approx. 328-383 yds/300-350 m.

MATERIALS
24” (minimum 60 cm) circular needles.
US 3 (3.25 mm)
US 6 (4.0 mm)
Crochet hook, US D3 (3.25 mm).
Stitch marker, cable needle, tapestry needle.

GAUGE - BLOCKED 4” (10 cm)
In cable pattern, 30 stitches x 31 rounds.
A different gauge will affect final size and yardage.

FINISHED DIMENSIONS
Approx. 22” (55 cm) circumference 15“ (37 cm) height.
My unblocked cowl was approx. 19” (48 cm) x 14” (35 cm).
If you use a superwash merino yarn, it can easily be stretched to a much wider cowl.
