This quick one-skein project is perfect for that orphan skein of worsted hanging out in your stash. Whether it was an impulse purchase or a leftover from a larger project, that beautiful, soft skein has a destiny!

Whitecaps is a close-fitting cowl that tapers slightly from neck to shoulder. Worked in the round, this deceptively simple pattern combines elongated stiches with a basic cable to break up color repeats and striping.

I designed this cowl with Epona in mind. This worsted-weight yarn from A Hundred Ravens is truly delightful. It has to be touched to be believed!

Pattern is charted; full written translation for the chart is included on page 3.
