The Beeswax Cowl is a cosy, generously-sized neck-warmer, the matching complement to the Beeswax Hat and Mitts. It features the same double-layered honeycomb pattern, flowing naturally into and out of the ribbed edges. You can find the set of all three patterns here.
The honeycomb texture is made up of simple mini-cables, which can be knit without a cable needle. I’ve included instructions for my favourite twist method, which I find intuitive and easy to remember, but you can use any method you prefer.
Materials
2 skeins of Vintage Purls Max (75% merino, 25% nylon; 227yds/208m per 100g skein), or 330.5 (425)yds/302.5 (389)m of DK or light worsted weight yarn. Sample colourway: ‘Toffee Deluxe’
US 6 / 4mm circular needles (or needle size that gives you the right gauge), 24”/60cm or shorter in length
A cable needle (optional), an end-of-round stitch marker, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Sizing
Sizes 1 (2) relaxed after blocking: 24.5”/62cm circumference, and 10 (12.75)”/25.5 (32.5)cm length from cast on to bind off
Size 2 is worked identically to Size 1 but with an additional 20-round repeat of the Honeycomb Pattern
The circumference can be altered by adding or subtracting 24 stitches from the cast on for a difference of 3.5”/9cm after blocking
Sample is shown in Size 1.
Both charted and written instructions are included.
