The woman who wears this cowl will not be outdone by the brilliant red hues of the changing leaves. The texture it gains from the cables and ribbing makes this cowl stand out from the crowd for a season of bold autumn fashion.

Love the pattern. Could you please give directions for the abbreviations 1-1 RC, 1-1 RPC, and 1-1 LPC ? I can’t wait to make this gorgeous cowl. Thank you
Thank you Kathleen for your comment. Please see updates for how to work the cables.
Thank You so much! I really appreciate getting the directions for the cables. I will start my cowl tomorrow..I’m so excited!!
Thank you so much for helping people make pretty things 🙂
When I printed the pattern, the picture of the cowl did not print. Got just the printed pattern. Love the cowl, but want to do it later and to have picture to refer to would be nice. Thank you.
Please correct typos thank you
I am now rather set in my ways and would like to know if this pattern can be knitted on two needles in the old-fashioned way please and maybe shorter as I am petite ? If one knits only in garter stitch in the round to produce a stockinette effect, is understandbale, but for a simple pattern such as 5k, 1p, on the right side, I would greatly appreciate advice. I cannot let this beat me. Smiley. With many thanks. Mrs C Cooley (OAP = retired) GB
