It’s the end of September and the leaves have begun to show their glorious autumnal colors. Nature is preparing to slow down and there is anticipation in the air. It’s a season to pause, to wait. We expect and linger to admire the glorious colors of autumnal leaves. We know that pretty soon the trees will be bare and Nature will rest for a few months. As a knitter/crocheter I wait for this season to start knitting with wool yarn again. It’s a season of fiber festivals and warm beverages. A season to curl up with our knitting/crochet projects and dream of all the new things to make.

The Waiting Season Cowl is a rectangular scarf crocheted using the alternate crochet moss stitch like the Silky Long Scarf. The bind off edge is then joined to the side of the rectangular scarf to make the cowl. Stitches are picked up at the collar edge to knit a few rounds of 1×1 ribbing. The bottom edge of the cowl is finished with a round of the crochet moss. After that, a round of crochet shell stitch is added to complete the bottom edge of the cowl. The fingering weight budget friendly yarn is 100% superwash merino wool. This hand dyed tonal yarn reflects the vibrant autumnal colors. The Waiting Season Cowl was such an enjoyable project to crochet and knit.
