The Fonte cowl is knitted both in the round and flat. A staggered cable stitch pattern is done without cable needle and I for one love that fact. The bottom edge gets knitted flat and also gets a simple, very stylish crocheted Chenille touch. You can flip that part over and create a cute collar, wear it up or down. For a cowl, this one gives you styling options!
The pattern is written and a chart is included for the cable pattern.
The unblocked cowl measures 24” in circumference and 9.5” in height.
