Swirling Seas Infinity Cowl

The Swirling Seas Infinity Cowl is a beautifully designed pattern that is worked from the bottom up, starting with comfy rounds of 2 x 2 ribbing. This elegant cowl dramatically showcases the main color and a coordinating color, which alternate in a delightful garter stitch pattern. This technique creates charming cresting waves that ripple through the cowl, giving it a unique texture and appeal. Since the cowl is worked in the round, the lace design features an easy 10-stitch repeat, making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels. The overall stitch patterns are repeated for enhanced depth, and the cowl finishes gracefully with the same 2 x 2 ribbing as it began.

This knitting pattern includes an optional chart specifically designed for the swirling waves lace as well as the garter stitch waves pattern, along with a handy schematic for reference. In the special techniques section, you'll find detailed instructions and helpful tips for achieving a stretchy long tail cast-on, casting on without measuring yarn, and a modified standard bind-off that maintains stretchiness and flexibility. Plus, there are modification suggestions available for those who wish to make their cowl longer or taller, allowing for personalized fit and style. For a truly nautical vibe, consider using shades of blue, green, and white yarns to enhance the oceanic theme of the cowl.

This pattern requires nearly all of the main color yarn (as demonstrated in the photos), so if you're not planning to knit a swatch, be sure to purchase extra yarn to ensure you have enough to complete your project without any interruptions. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting on your knitting journey, the Swirling Seas Infinity Cowl is a versatile and captivating project that you'll love to create and wear. Explore endless color combinations and enjoy the process of knitting an accessory that captures the beauty of ocean waves!
