I started this design journey with the need for a cowl that would lay flat under my coat. This is it! This is a wonderfully squishy cabled cowl, knit up in a bulky weight yarn. The bottom portion provides for a slightly rounder, almost flared edge that expands with the natural shape of the shoulders. It is knit in the round from the bottom up and features slowing sloping upward cables.
