Cabled Moss Stitch Cowl Using Manos Maxima
The Design
“Just the right amount of structure.”
This free pattern creates a chunky, cozy cowl that takes advantage of doubled yarn for a nice, quick knit! Plump cables twist up among fields of delightfully dense moss stitch for a perfectly sized cowl with just the right amount of structure.
We’ve knit the Cabled Moss Stitch Cowl holding two strands of Manos del Uruguay's Maxima at once. A single-ply worsted-weight yarn, Maxima is plush and soft. Made of 100% extrafine merino wool, it creates a cuddly cowl while tidily defining the stitch patterns’ engaging textures.
