About the Kelp Forest Cowl
This pattern is for a cozy, cabled, knit cowl inspired by the kelp forests in the Santa Barbara Channel. It features cables that look like tall kelp plants and bubbly lace columns. This pattern will be a good fit for any intermediate knitter, and a knitter who has mastered the basics will find it a fun challenge.
A circle scarf is great for anybody who wants to avoid having loose ends in their clothing. It won’t shift, budge, or fall off. It will also keep you extra warm on chilly days.
The pattern for this infinity scarf has both charted and written instructions.
