Knitting the body of the cable cowl:

So lets start. Cast on 48 stitches for the cable knit cowl.

Row 1: selvage st (slip the first stitch), 1k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 38k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, selvage st (purl).

Row 2: selvage st, 1k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, 36p, 1k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, selvage st.

Rows 3-6: Repeat Rows 1 and 2.

Row 7: selvage st, 1k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, [4k, C4F] -3 times, 1k,1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, selvage st.

Row 8: selvage st, 1k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, 36p, 1k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, selvage st.

Rows 9-14: Repeat Rows 1 and 2.

Row 15: selvage st, 1k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, [C4B, 4k] -3 times, 1k,1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, selvage st

Row 16: selvage st, 1k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, 36p, 1k, 1p, 1k, 1p, 1k, selvage st.

Now repeat Rows 1-16 – 3 more times. If you want longer cable cowl or make it double size, then just repeat Rows 1-16 as many times as you need.

Cut yarn leaving 50-60 cm tail. Now we are going to finish the cable cowl by using method of horizontal invisible seam. This method can be also used for sewing sweater, knitted jacket, etc.

Put both edges of knit cable cowl with right sides facing you. Use tapestry needle.

Working with piece that is farther away from you. First step is to insert the needle from right to left under the stitch (it reminds me a ‘gull’).

Next step is to insert the needle into the stich of the closest piece and exactly in the center of the ‘gull’, extract the needle in the middle of the next gull of the same closest piece.

Go back to father piece and repeat same steps.

Now decorate the cowl with the same kind of pom pom that was used for sandy winter knitted hat pattern with cables.

Please visit our shop section with a wide variety of fur pom poms.

It’s time to enjoy your set. I believe it’s really pretty.
