My inspiration for this cowl was the 50th Anniversary of landing on the Moon and all of the fascinating explorations being conducted to find life in our Universe. As water appears to be a ‘key’ to finding life on other planets or moons, such as Saturn’s Enceladus, I designed this to appear as waves of moving waters. Contrasting colors make the design ‘pop’, yarns with metallic highlights can add special sparkle. Using one plain color skein and a contrasting multi-color or speckled color skein make one side appear textured.

YARDAGE for DK weight yarns will vary by manufacturer.
Color A: 210-230 / 420-460
Color B: 210-230 / 420-460

The cowl may be knit in 2 sizes, small - 29.5” x 9.5” (4 repeats) - or large - 60” x 9.5” (8 repeats).

If using other Worsted or Sport weight yarns, it is recommended to work a sample of 2 repeats of the pattern, in the round, and measure that gauge. Adjust the number of repeats for the length desired.

An intermediate level ‘double-knitting’ project, with no explanations given in the pattern. A link to on-line instruction is included.
