Crisial Cowl Knitting Pattern

Pattern is available on Etsy, and Payhip, and is available for Patrons to download on Patreon. 

The Crisial (Welsh for “crystal”) Cowl was inspired by the geometric shapes of crystals. It uses a simple two-stitch cable to create twists that make for a classic textural piece you’ll want to wear all season long. Both aran and heavy worsted weight yarn would work well with this project.

The Crisial Cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. and uses only written instruction for the simple cable motif.

It is easily adjustable to the amount of yarn you have.

Note that gauge is not specifically important to this pattern, though changes in gauge will affect the amount of yarn used and the size of the final project.

This pattern also has an accessible large print option that is compatible with screen-reading software, which includes the written instruction.
