Móin (the Irish for peat) is a cowl worked in two colours, with a cable motif worked over a striped garter stitch background. The pattern is worked in the round, and is written in two sizes. The cable is inspired by classic rope cables that often feature on Aran designs. Only one color is used in each round; the cable stitches are slipped in Contrast Colour rounds. 
Cable instructions are given in both charted and written form.
