The Sea Garden Cowl is inspired by the beauty of the undersea world’s gentle movement of marine plants with the tide. Created with 18 crocheted squares, each bearing a floral center using the popcorn stitch, the cowl’s petal shapes yield a three-dimensional texture reminiscent of a serene underwater garden.

Designed in The Fibre Co’s Cirro—a luxurious blend of Suri alpaca, organic cotton, and Merino wool—the cowl shines in three oceanic shades that are alternated across the squares. Using a larger hook than typically called for, the cowl has an airy finish with a generous drape. The combination of Cirro’s fuzzy halo and the popcorn stitch floral motif makes a beautifully textured fabric. Whether you’re new to crochet or seasoned in the craft, the Sea Garden Cowl promises a delightful journey in every stitch.

The Almanac Series III
The Almanac Series is an ongoing collection celebrating each month of the year with a Yarn of the Month. It is based on the original farmer’s Almanac, a nature-inspired guide to the seasons. In our first two Almanacs, we looked to land with our theme of herbalism. Then to the skies, with our theme of astronomy. Now we look to the seas.

Our third Almanac Series is inspired by the oceans to acknowledge the importance of maintaining a balanced and thriving ocean ecosystem. The moodiness of the deep ocean, the chill of polar seas, the patterns and rhythm of winter swells, and the great migrations of sea birds were some of the inspirations behind this Almanac Series.

We invite you to feel inspired by the high seas and explore this theme with us.
