Quiet Afternoon Cowl

When the world’s needs are many and I am feeling depleted, an afternoon of quiet reflection helps make all well again. Those moments of refuge – often accompanied with knitting, a cup of tea, and music – do wonders for the soul.

This cowl receives its name in appreciation and thankfulness for those quiet afternoons. This cowl and its companion blanket, wrap, and socks are, themselves, much like those afternoons: gentle and beautiful.

A textured cowl with clean, geometric lines, this pattern will look best knit in a solid or tonal yarn. Due to its simple texture, this pattern is also easily customizable. Make the cowl longer or shorter by adding or omitting rounds in groups of 24. Make the cowl a wider or narrower circumference by adding or omitting stitches in groups of 16.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
