Notes From the Designer:
One of my favorite book series is the Horatio Hornblower series by C.S. Forester. It details the adventures of the title character, as he distinguishes himself in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. He was stationed in the Mediterranean Sea for several of his voyages, and in the books, there are many mentions of the various winds and weather patterns that he often encountered. One of the winds was named the “Levanter," and it brought cloudy, foggy, rainy weather in winter to the area around the Straits of Gibraltar, between the tip of Spain and North Africa.
I imagine that a soft, snuggly cowl or scarf would have been very appreciated in weather like that! The Levanter pattern incorporates a lovely ribbed cable pattern that can be made into a cowl, scarf, or wrap using super soft, bulky yarn. The cable stitch is adapted from Knitted Cable Sourcebook by Norah Gaughan. I hope you enjoy these accessories, and they keep you warm wherever life takes you. Happy knitting!

These accessories are knitted flat and are easily customizable. You can work extra repeats to lengthen the scarf/wrap, or give the cowl more drape. Just be sure to have enough yarn to compensate.
-
If you'd like your cowl to be wider and "squishier" without doing a lot of math, you could hold the yarn double, and use a larger needle to accommodate the bigger stitches.

Written instructions are included on pages 9-10.
