LUCID WAVES FREE Cowl Pattern

WELCOME!!  

I hope you enjoy this pattern I call "Lucid Waves".  The rolling waves are pleasing to the eye and as you work through the pattern you will find yourself falling into a rhythm. The cowl is made with approximately 85g of size 1/fingering weight yarn, which makes it light and warm at the same time. My yarn of choice for the project is Red Stag Fibre, Estate Fingering. There is such a large selection of colors to choose from!  If you have every wanted to try hand dyed yarn, this is the perfect one skein project!!

SKILL LEVEL: Advanced Intermediate

SIZE:  One Size, but easily adjusted by adding an additional multiple to the width or another repeat to the length. Finished: height 11 inches, circumference 22 inches.          

MATERIALS: Red Stag Fibre Estate Fingering/size 1/super fine, 100% SW Merino Wool 3 ply 100g/490 yards/colorway “William of Orange”, size E/3.5mm crochet hook, yarn needle. (using recommended yarn, you will only need 75g. Other brands/types of size 1 yarn may require more yardage)

GAUGE:  17 sts in pattern = 2 ½” unblocked (first 12 rows = 10 ½” x 3 ½”)

NOTES: 

1. Multiple of 16 + 2

2. When stitching across a space, you may prefer to stitch directly into the space, or you may prefer to stitch directly into the chain that creates the space.  Either method will work and not change the appearance of the pattern.

BODY: Ch 66.

Row 1: Working in back ridge of chain, hdc in 2^nd ch from hook and in each chain across.

Row 2: (Right Side) Ch 1, turn. Sc in first 3 sts. * Hdc next st, dc next 2 sts, trc next 5 sts, dc next 2 sts, hdc next st **, sc next 5 sts. Repeat from * across ending at ** on the last repeat. Sc in last 3 sts.  (21 sc, 8 hdc, 16 dc, 20 trc)

Row 3: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), turn. (Sk 1 st, dc next st) 2 times, * ch 1, sk 1 st, (dc next st, ch 1) 5 times **. (sk 1 st, dc next st) 5 times. Repeat from * across ending at ** on the last repeat. (Sk 1 st, dc next st) 3 times. (41 dc, 24 ch 1 sps)

Row 4: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st and ch space across. Last sc worked in top of beg ch 3 of previous row. (65 sc)

Row 5: Ch 4 (counts as first trc), turn. 3 trc in 1^st st, * sk 3 sts, sc in next 9 sts, sk 3 sts **, 7 trc in next st. Repeat from * across ending at ** on the last repeat. 4 trc in last st. (2-4trc shells, 3-7trc shells, 36 sc)

Row 6: Ch 1, turn. Sc in 1^st st, * sk 3 sts, 7 trc in next st, sk 3 sts, sc in next st. Repeat from * across. Last sc worked in beg ch 4 of previous row. (8-7trc shells, 9 sc)

Row 8: Repeat row 6.

Row 9: Repeat row 5.

Row 10: Ch 4 (counts as dc, ch 1), turn. (Dc in next st, ch 1) 2 times. * (Sk 1 st, dc next st) 5 times. Ch 1, sk 1 st **, (dc next st, ch 1) 5 times. Repeat from * across ending at ** on the last repeat. (Dc next st, ch 1) 2 times. Dc in beg ch 4 from previous row. (41 dc, 24 ch 1 sps)

Row 11: Ch 1, sc in each st and ch sp across. Last 2 sc worked in beg ch 4 of previous row. (65 sc)

Row 12: Ch 1, turn. Sc in first 3 sts. * Hdc next st, dc next 2 sts, trc next 5 sts, dc next 2 sts, hdc next st **, sc next 5 sts. Repeat from * across ending at ** on the last repeat. Sc in last 3 sts.  (21 sc, 8 hdc, 16 dc, 20 trc)

Repeat Rows 2-13 four more times.

Repeat Rows 2-12 one more time. Do not finish off.

With right side of cowl facing, butt the edges of the first and last row together. Sl st in the first stitch of the first row, then sl st in the first stitch of the last row. Alternating back and forth between the first row and the last row, slip stitching only one side at a time.  This will form an “icing” like chain on top but will not be noticeable as it will follow the ridge pattern in the back side of the hdc.  Continue until entire seam is complete. Do not finish off. Continue with first edging.

EDGE:

Rnd 1: Ch 1, working around the edge of the cowl, sc evenly around.  Sl st in first sc to join.

Rnd 2: Ch 1, turn. Hdc in each st around. Sl st in first hdc to join.

Rnd 3: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st around. Sl st in first sc to join. Finish off.

Repeat for other edge of cowl.
