The Light & Lacy Cascading Waves Cowlette is perfect for when the weather is turning a little warmer, but you’d still like a little something to help take the chill off. It’s light, it’s lacy, it’s beautiful, AND it only uses one hank of yarn! You can adapt it to be a long infinity scarf, however the yarn quantities will increase.
It’s very simple to adapt for a larger size, but be aware that your yarn quantity will vary. I do recommend the yarn that I used, or something similar in a heavier fingering weight. I did another sample in a light fingering weight and it came out a couple inches smaller. However, casting on another 24 stitches should do the trick to make the circumference closer to the pattern size.
There is a video that I created on YouTube that is specific to this stitch technique for you (you can click on the box below or click here to see it on YouTube). The German Twist Cast On works really well for this stitch, however you’re welcome to use preferred method; I just recommend that it’s a little stretchy.

Notes:
- The recommended yarn is a slightly heavier fingering weight (almost like a sport weight); if you choose to use lighter yarn, you may want to cast on an additional 24 stitches for one more pattern repeat to make it closer to the indicated circumference.
- To adjust the circumference width, add or subtract in multiples of 24 sts; to adjust height, add or subtract rows in increments of 12.
- Place a stitch marker between each repeat of 24 sts on Round 1 to allow for easier tracking of repeats between the *.
