The Springtide Cowl is a stranded colourwork cowl that is knit in the round to create a long tube. After blocking, both ends are seamed together, resulting in a double-sided infinity or moebius cowl.

Inspired by the regrowth in Spring, this design combines botanical motifs, polka dots and texture. Variation in colourwork charts and stitch technique keeps the knitter engaged throughout the piece, excited to move from one section to the next!

Designed to be a transitional accessory through the seasons, this cowl is both shorter in height and longer in length to hang further away from the neck. However, the dimensions of this pattern are easily customized depending on the knitter’s preference.
