Description
You’ll never run out of luck with horseshoe cables, and three columns of them decorate the Connacht Cowl. The cowl’s name refers to the province in western Ireland that includes the Aran Islands and to a particular dialect of the Irish language spoken in that region. Graft this cowl in pattern—if you’ve never followed a grafting chart before, “The Ins & Outs of Grafting” on page 64 walks you through the process.
