If you use a yarn weight other than that used in the sample, be sure to match your needle size to the yarn you use. Heavier yarn will obviously result in a larger finished product etc.

This pattern is the result of experimenting with various shaping schemes. The result has a very fun scallop pattern that waves back and forth. It is best suited for any self striping yarn. some fun alternatives are Cascade 220 Wave, Painted Sky, and painted Mist to name a few. How much yarn you need is entirely up to you. If you have a smaller skein of about 150 yards, just knit fewer patterns for a smaller cowl. Play around with your options and just have fun with this very simple pattern.
