This dreamy accessory, knit up in the lusciously soft CashLuxe Fine, combines cables and lace for a light, drapey fabric perfect for the transitional season between winter and spring. Emily Wood used two mirrored cables in Flitter to frame the trellis lace for an enchanting play between texture and shadow. This sweet little piece is just perfect.

We love getting to know the designers behind the knit, so we asked Emily
What tip do you have for our knitters when they knit this cowl?
Knitters can choose either to graft or to seam the beginning of the cowl to the end, depending upon one’s preference. Also, the pattern is very easy to customize with regards to length so that you can create a cowl that is the perfect size for you.
What is your favourite guilty pleasure?
Reading for fun when there are chores to be done.
