Wickershanks cowl

I've always loved the classic stitch pattern called Wickerworks, and for this cowl, I used that stitch pattern along with a very scaled-up version of it, and threw in a lovely narrow cable and some twisted ribs.

These patterns look great together! And the cowl can be made in two styles - one long and slouchy to pull over the head, and a second a bit narrower, and wide enough to wrap around twice for versatility.
