Darvel Cabled Cowl – Knitting Pattern
Designed by Tilde Olsen for Orry Yarn Merino DK
The Darvel Cabled Cowl is an easy, confidence‑building knitting pattern designed by Tilde Olsen specifically for Orry Yarn Merino DK — our soft, springy, ethically sourced merino wool. With excellent stitch definition and a smooth, forgiving feel, this yarn is perfect for showcasing simple cables and textured stitches.
Knitted in the round from the bottom up, this cosy cowl features a combination of gentle textures and a striking C6B cable, making it an ideal introduction to both circular knitting and basic cable techniques. At this stage of your knitting journey, you should feel comfortable casting on, working knit and purl stitches, and reading a simple pattern.
