The Chakra System of the body is a system of energy distribution in the body that helps the fluid flow of life and energy throughout the body, for physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Check out this video about the Chakra System and the Mind Body Connection, with Seane Corn.

The Solar Plexus (Manipura) Chakra is located in the upper belly space above the navel. This energy center is where we hold our empowerment, will, energy, action, and self-confidence. Its mantra is “I do” or “I am powerful.”

Welcome to Stacey Namaste Designs. This cowl is part of my Knitting for Healing series. Trauma can be defined as “Anything that overwhelms our capacity to cope and leaves us feeling hopeless and helpless,” ~Seane Corn, Yogi and Author. This series was inspired in order to provide choice and control for the maker in size, color scheme, design, and patterning. I hope you have fun, and every time you sit to knit this pattern, you can create a new design of your choosing with yarn and color choices.

This cowl was designed using worsted acrylic yarn, Tweed Dreams from Hobbii. Feel free to choose any yarn that features the blue color. The pictured sample uses Sunshine color 24. Sample used 75g (1.5 skeins) with size 7 circular needles. Gauge is 19 sts, 28 rows for 4.” This crown is knit in the round using circular needles and a cable needle. This cowl fits an average adult neck circumference. It is stretchy, 20” in circumference and 9” long.

Adjustments: If you would like to increase the circumference, you can add additional stitches to the stockinette or reverse stockinette sections. If you would like to add length, you can continue the ribbing sections to be longer. Play with what works for you.
