Seeking Balance

This rhythmic gender-inclusive cowl design is the ideal accessory for your cool-weather wardrobe. Made from a cozy heavy worsted weight wool, this versatile cowl is not only perfect for chilly hikes but also adds a pop of texture to any outfit. The pattern incorporates basic knit and purl stitches, combined with simple increases and decreases, allowing you to create a beautifully symmetrical finished piece. Because this cowl is completely reversible—both top and bottom, as well as inside and out—it makes a fantastic gift. There's no need to worry about showing the recipient the 'right' way to wear it, as they can enjoy it however they prefer.

This unique cowl design symbolizes the ongoing quest for balanced rhythms in the midst of life's ups and downs. The pattern is broken into four distinct sections that find equilibrium: two sections feature either increasing or decreasing stitch counts, while the sections in between maintain a constant stitch count. If you're SEEKING BALANCE like I am, I sincerely hope this cowl pattern helps you discover the tranquility you need during your knitting journey.
