When I was learning to knit, back in the Dark Ages, I remember watching my Gran working cables I was both fascinated and concerned! Because I loved how they looked, but I never thought I would be good enough to do anything like that! Then again I was only 8! But once I had the confidence to try cable stitches for myself, I fell in love!

I particularly enjoy working Sand Cables and the Doubling Dune cowl is the first pattern in my Dune Collection, which heavily features this soft, meandering cable pattern.

Knitted flat, this DK cowl is a great value one skein wonder and whilst the cables lend themselves to any DK yarn, they look amazing in yarns with a
slight halo. Alternatively, you could always knit your favourite DK together with a lace weight mohair for that an added touch of luxury.

This is a gorgeous, cosy cowl that looks great on everyone and can be
knitted by anyone. It's certainly an easy, fun and relatively quick knit.
It's an ideal weekend project and perfect for gifting either to yourself or to someone else.

One thing's for sure though, you'll be knitting up a few versions of this
lovely accessory and adding them to your autumn/winter wardrobes.

Happy knitting!
