This is a great cowl for a novice cable knitter. Simple cable stitches paired with a deliciously soft and warm chunky alpaca make this a quick knit. Knit on US #11 straight needles, use the option for provisional cast-on/Kitchener stitch, and this cowl will be virtually seamless. Or, you can make with traditional cast-on of your choice, then bind off and seam together.
