Singing Beach Cowl

With its scalloped edges and garter stitch lace, the Singing Beach Cowl brings to mind seashells, waves, and shifting sands. Worked in the round on a circular needle, it uses just one skein of sock or fingering weight yarn—the perfect choice for that special skein in your stash.

The cowl is named after a popular beach in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, where the sand “sings” or “squeaks” when walked upon. I have fond memories of taking the train to Singing Beach many years ago, when my sisters and I were young and shared an apartment in Boston. Those were carefree days!

Sizes: One

Finished (blocked) measurements: 5.25 inches/13 cm wide by 52 inches/132 cm circumference at bound-off edge

Yarn/Yardage: 330 yds/300 m fingering weight yarn

Needles and notions:
—US #4/3.50mm 24- or 32-inch circular needle OR SIZE NEEDED TO OBTAIN GAUGE
—Stitch marker, tapestry needle, stainless steel T-pins

Construction: Worked in the round beginning with the scalloped lace section and ending with the garter/slip stitch section.

Gauge: 18 sts/40 rows = 4”/10 cm in garter stitch after blocking

Notes:
—Stitch patterns are provided in written, line-by-line instructions (there are no charts).
—You may find that needles with pointy tips (rather than blunt) will work best for this cowl, which requires working k4tog and k4tog-tbl on some rounds.
