Awakener

Looking for a stash-busting project for your laceweight yarn? This pattern is perfect if you have one or two skeins and haven’t found the right project for them yet. It’s also a great meditative crochet piece - relaxing, repetitive, and satisfying to make.

The Awakener is a lightweight, lace-inspired crochet cowl that works beautifully with thin yarns. Featuring a unique variation of the sc3tog stitch, it creates a soft, leaf-like texture on one side and an equally interesting pattern on the reverse. Designed for versatility, it can be worn with either side showing.

💡 Works best with laceweight yarn (but you can use any!), a larger hook (3.5 mm / US E-4), and relaxed stitches. After blocking, the fabric blooms beautifully.
