The Royal Cowl is a snug fitting cowl made warm and cozy with a dense textured fabric made up of simple cable stitches. It is shown here in Madelinetosh Pashmina Worsted – a beautifully soft merino, cashmere, and silk blend, making it soft and gentle against the skin. The i-cord edges give it structure and formality. This is a quick knit – a treat for yourself or the perfect gift for someone else! This intermediate pattern is worked in the round. Instructions are written and the pattern stitch is also charted.
