When things get stressful and intense, comfort can be found in hooks and yarn. With straightforward rows of neat stitches that slowly grow into a gorgeous finished object, the Tranquil Waters Cowl is intended to act as a port in the storm. It’s entirely mindless, with minimal counting and shaping, and the pops of texture provide the perfect mental break.

The pattern includes instructions for a cowl (pictured) as well as for a scarf. The scarf is longer and narrower and has just two stripes of texture. The scarf can be seamed together to form an infinity scarf, while the cowl can be seamed or buttoned in a number of different ways. Both patterns are fully adjustable and you can make them longer/shorter, narrower/wider, with as many stripes of texture as you want!

Though the pattern itself is fairly mindless, the techniques used make this an intermediate pattern. Tutorials are linked whenever possible.

Size
Size is fully adjustable in both length and width. When gauge is met, 285yds/115g of worsted weight yarn is enough to make a cowl that measures 9.25”/23.5cm by 34”/96cm or a scarf that measures 5.25”/13.25cm by 60”/152.5cm.

Yarn and other materials
The pattern is adjustable and can be made to size to work, yardage will vary with any adjustments made.

The pattern is most visible in a solid or tonal yarn. A lightly variegated or speckled yarn can add loads of visual interest and add an excellent contrast to the simplicity of the piece.

The pictured sample uses one oval button, measuring approximately 1”/2.5cm at the widest part. The pattern includes instructions for using between 0 and 3 oval or round buttons.
