Mock Cable Rib
The Mock Cable Rib is a lovely twisting stitch pattern that closely resembles a fully cabled fabric without all the fuss of a cable stitch holder. By simply reordering the stitches of a 2×2 rib, this technique will become second nature after just a couple of rows! For some great practice, start with our Mock Cable Columns Hat!

When Brume was on sale on bought a bit, do you think it would be a good choice for this cowl?
Thank you again,

Hi Elissa,
Thanks for reaching out and for your kind words! I wouldn’t recommend Brume for the Soft as a Cloud Cowl as it is a heavier weight yarns so you would need to adjust the gauge and needle size a bit but most importantly since it is a mohair yarn the “fuzz” will not have great definition and will wash out the cable pattern. Ultimately it would be more work than its worth! Instead I would recommend the Floats Cowl in Brume, you could adjust the width to be more fitted! I would also recommend the Shifting Rib Cowl or the Mistake Rib Cowl!
I hope this helps, happy knitting!
