Ready for a fast and fun knit just in time for a blast of Arctic temps? Our favorite hometown designer is back with another of her signature stylish and sculptural designs!
Olga’s new Alexandria-inspired pattern is the perfect “first cables” project for advanced beginners who know how to knit in the round, or a relaxing knit for more experienced stitchers. (Need to brush up on your cable skills? Join our Cabling Clinics! See our classes for current offerings.)
This cozy cowl works up fast in chunky-weight De Rerum Natura Cyrano, available in-store and on our capsule – the round multi-ply twist will make your cables pop in Cyrano’s soft Merino wool.
