If you need a big, soothing, relaxing blue wave, you’re not alone. Summon the force of the biggest wave you can imagine while knitting this cowl. Join the informal KAL by sharing with #BlueWaveKAL.

While the one size for this cowl is listed, the circumference of the cowl is adjustable if you would like to make it smaller. Please see the notes for the stitch counts to do this.

This cowl has some long floats. If your normal method of catching floats leaves you with blips of the carried color showing through to the right side, you may wish to try the Ladderback Jacquard method. However, it is not required.
