Ataraxia Cowl Tunisian Crochet Pattern

If you’ve been curious about Tunisian crochet but haven’t yet taken the plunge, the Ataraxia cowl might be just the project for you.

Designed with regular crocheters in mind, this pattern uses Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) for the main body, giving it a lovely, textured look. The borders are finished in regular crochet, so you get a polished edge and a sense of familiarity as you try something new.

One of the things I love about this cowl is how easy it is to play with colour. You can make gentle colour changes during the return pass of the TSS, adding subtle depth and interest to your finished piece.

It’s a fantastic stash buster, too—use any yarns you have on hand, or pick your favourite colours for a truly personal touch.

The name "Ataraxia" comes from the Greek word for calmness and serenity, which perfectly captures the spirit of this make.
