Atlantis is Calling is a cozy cowl that balances bold, ancient-looking cables with a touch of lace. Although named for the 1986 Modern Talking song, Atlantis is Calling is inspired by the underrated Atlantis: The Lost Empire. The carving-like cables call to mind the stonework of a lost civilization. Purl lace makes the cables pop and the cowl lightweight, and prevents your neck from overheating.

Thanks to the lace between cables, this pattern is ideal for very warm fibers such as angora, cashmere, and llama. Worked in a cotton or linen blend yarn, this could easily become a springtime accessory.
