Wave Cowl

18/8/2017

I had just one 50 g ball of an unlabelled mystery wool yarn in a lovely shade of blue. Using a cast on of 120 stitches this little cowl was worked in the round. The finished cowl is 62 cm around and 14 cm deep, making it perfect as a neck warmer for the colder days. 

Two different wavy stitches are used in this project, each one uses a 12 stitch repeat.  The first produces the lovely scalloped edge effect and uses lots of purl stitches. I then switched to a wave crest pattern that has more eyelets and some defining rows of garter stitch which make the lovely waves.

When the weather changes,climate conditions and atmosphere also becomes changes. Different peoples use different warm garments to cover and heat their body. This Wave Cowl warms and covers the neck very well because it mades up from very fine fabric.
