The Peace and Waves Cowl is inspired by the peaceful ebb and flow of waves on a quiet beach, with the cool water gliding over small pebbles and seashells, forming little rivulets and filling in tiny air holes dotting the sand. Its seven horizontal layers of wavy lace, bobbles, and eyelets call to mind the simple yet beautiful shapes and textures of a beach. Worked in the round from the bottom up in a fingering weight yarn, the cowl is great for warming the neck from a breeze without feeling overly bundled up! Both written and charted instructions are provided for this pattern.
