Product Description
Hot and humid summer weather may have you yearning for the crisp bright days of autumn when the woods invite us to wander in invigorating scents of fallen leaves and pine. Trees have a relaxing effect, so take a deep breath and savour the season.
A light yet cozy scarf or cowl has extra warming power due to the lattice cable having a subtle pattern on the reverse side with pockets that trap the warmth. The cable, which has both charted and written instructions included, is easy to remember and suitable for any skill level. You have the option of three or five buttons: with three buttons you have a scarf that fastens at collar level, but with five buttons a cowl can be fashionably worn as well--and the buttons don't need to match because mismatched buttons are trendy!

Lattice Twist Scarf or Cowl by Dal Riata Knits
Project Overview
The Lattice Twist Scarf or Cowl is a versatile knitted accessory designed by independent designer Dal Riata Knits. This downloadable PDF pattern offers knitters the flexibility to create either a fastening scarf or a fashionable cowl, depending on button placement preferences. The design captures the essence of autumn aesthetics while providing practical warmth through its innovative lattice cable construction.
What Is Being Made
This pattern produces a light yet cozy neckwear piece suitable for layering during transitional seasons. Knitters can choose between two finished styles: a scarf that fastens at collar level using three buttons, or a cowl that can be worn fashionably with five buttons. The pattern emphasizes that buttons need not match, making mismatched button selections a trendy design choice. The finished piece combines aesthetic appeal with functional warmth.
Techniques and Construction
The Lattice Twist design features a cable pattern that serves as the primary design element. The cable construction creates a subtle pattern on the reverse side of the fabric, with pockets that trap warmth for enhanced insulation. The pattern includes both charted and written instructions for the cable, making it accessible to knitters who prefer either format. The cable pattern is described as easy to remember, making it suitable for intermediate-level knitters while remaining engaging for more experienced crafters.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette stitch for the base fabric
- Cable stitches for the lattice twist pattern
- Button bands or fastening edges
Yarn and Materials
The pattern is worked in DK weight and sport weight yarns, providing options for different yarn preferences and availability. Recommended yarns include James C. Brett Double Knitting Merino, Patons Superwash DK, and Cascade 220 Sport. The gauge is set at 22 stitches per 4 inches when worked in stockinette stitch with the suggested yarns. Knitters will need appropriate needles for their chosen yarn weight, as well as three or five buttons depending on the desired finished style.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with foundational skills who are ready to work with cable patterns. The inclusion of both charted and written instructions accommodates different learning preferences, while the easy-to-remember cable repeat supports successful project completion.
