Seventh Wave Cowl

Discover the perfect accessory for summer strolls along the beach with the stylish Seventh Wave Cowl. Designed to be light and breezy, this cowl can be worn loosely or wrapped securely around your neck for added warmth against the cool ocean winds. Featuring a simple lace chevron pattern that is ideal for beginning lace knitters, this design beautifully mimics the shape and shadows of gentle waves rolling onto the shore. The unique bottom “wave” is intentionally doubled in size to represent the seventh wave, often believed to be larger and more powerful than all the others. This striking design choice not only enhances the visual appeal but also serves to anchor the bottom of the cowl visually.

The Seventh Wave Cowl is knit flat using a provisional cast on technique, which allows you to graft the ends together seamlessly at the finish. For those who prefer versatility, this design can easily be adapted into a long, flowing scarf. The lace pattern is not only easy to memorize, but it also offers incredible adaptability; simply add extra repeats to create a cowl that is wider or longer to suit your style. If you're looking for a smaller accessory, you can easily knit fewer repeats for a more compact cowl. Perfect for both novice knitters and seasoned pros, the Seventh Wave Cowl is not just a project; it’s a beautiful way to embrace the spirit of summer and showcase your knitting skills. Start your next favorite knitting adventure today with this delightful pattern!
