Rolling Waves Cowl | Needle Knit

Rolling Waves Cowl | Needle Knit

Rolling Waves Cowl

by Kristen Mangus

Just like the constantly shifting waves of a wind-tossed sea the Rolling Waves Cowl is full of texture and movement. I won’t say that you can smell the salty air when you wear it, but you can almost feel the ocean breeze.

PATTERN

I designed this cowl as part of the DFW Designer’s Collection, Vol. 2.  The stunning knit and crochet patterns in this ebook were all created by designers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas and I’m honored to be part of such a talented group.

Loom knitters, in case you missed it, I already shared the Loom Knit Rolling Waves Cowl earlier this year!

YARN

Classic Elite Yarns Chateau (1.76 oz/50 g; 98 yds/89.16 m)  2 balls. (aff. link)

Since publishing this pattern Classic Elite Yarns has closed its doors and the yarn will not be available for much longer.  Another alpaca or alpaca blend yarn or the same weight can be used.  Please check your gauge if you change yarn!   I checked yarnsub.com for alternatives. I haven’t tested these but the fiber content and drape look like they would work.
