Knit a Simple Cable Cowl

This is a child version of my Quick Knitted Cabled Cowl Pattern. I first designed this over 10 years ago on my previous blog and have gotten several requests to bring it back! It’s a fun knit and super warm and cozy. The cowl is one large extended cable. Feel free to knit a provisional cast on and graft the work at the end for a more seamless look. Note that you can also add or subtract to the circumference by changing the amount of rows you knit in between the cable rows. I would say this cowl would fit kids anywhere from 18 months to 8 years. This pattern is now part of my pattern library.
