Doubled for warmth, this striped cowl is knit with alpaca for softness, and merino stripes for definition. A little bit of seaming and you’re ready for winter in this sweet treat for your neck.

I finally got around to charting out my whale and waves. I originally created the chart when I was knitting Milo, a baby shower gift for a good friend. I’ve had a few requests for the pattern, and am now making it available on Ravelry. Enjoy!

This pattern benefits from blocking. It was a little tight on my forearm (9.5” circumference) but after blocking fit fine. In retrospect, I might have made the cuffs longer, and a little bigger in diameter, but am otherwise happy with the results.

Knit a sleep mask using ball ends or a single skein you have in your stash.
