Waves Of Emotions Cowl
"Our emotions rise and fall throughout our days in reflection to our external and internal circumstances. Some come and go without much notice, while some leave noticeable ridges affecting the fabric and texture of our consciousness. The inspiration behind this cowl was this ever-present process that is likened to movement of sea waves rolling over each other. The sheen of the yarn resembles the reflection of sun on the surface of the sea. The cowl is made using fine soft cotton yarn that is great for light accessory worn close to skin."
NotesThe cowl is crocheted flat.
The pattern uses two strands of yarn at once.
Odd rows create wavy pattern and even rows create texture.
The pattern starts with ch sts and ends with a row of slip sts into the back lp.
The cowl is seamed using the Locking Mattress Stitch.
