Open Waters Cowl

This charming design is a delightful little sister to my popular Open Waters Shawl. I was thrilled to experiment with the same intricate stitch pattern using a much heavier weight yarn, and I’m pleased to say that Woolfolk's Tov yarn proved to be the perfect choice! This luxurious yarn not only offers exceptional stitch definition but also boasts an incredible softness that feels wonderful against the skin. As I compare both designs—the shawl and the cowl—it's fascinating to see how dramatically different they appear while sharing a common stitch aesthetic. Whether you're looking to adorn yourself with the elegance of a shawl or the cozy comfort of a cowl, this pattern offers versatility and style for all knitters. Enjoy crafting this unique piece that beautifully showcases the wonders of knitting with heavier yarns!
