Chunky Cabled Cowl Crochet Pattern

As much as I adore over-sized scarves and their coziness, I also love the simplicity of a classic cowl.

However, it's pretty obvious that there are already an abundant of basic cowl patterns out there. So in an effort to once again challenge myself, I decided to incorporate this beautiful cable stitch in my design to help give it a lovely chic flair!
