Making Waves Cowl Pattern

In the intricate cables of the Making Waves Cowl, each stitch mirrors the dynamic energy of a turbulent river: powerful currents flowing against smooth, undulating sandbanks. Every twist and turn captures the fluid motion of water, creating a mesmerising visual narrative of nature’s dance between power and tranquillity.

Wrap it around your neck and feel both the river’s wild vigour and serene grace intertwined in every fibre.

Construction

The cowl is built modularly. A central band of complex twisted cables is knitted flat with a provisional cast on, then the ends are grafted together to form a seamless loop. Finally, the edges are picked up and knitted in the round.
