The Wavey Cowl is designed as a companion to the matching Wavey Hat, with both patterns showcasing the same flowing cable motifs. Worked from the pointed edge upward, the cowl grows into a generous shape that sits neatly across the chest while transitioning into a deep ribbed collar.

The design combines the coverage of a kerchief with the practicality of a cowl, making it easy to layer under a jacket or wear as a textured statement piece. Paired with the Wavey Hat, it creates a beautifully coordinated set.
