Ocean Currents is a scarf or a cowl constructed to strike a balance between interesting design elements and being unostentatious enough to wear comfortably for even the most decoration-averse individual.

While to the casual glance, it might appear to be a standard striped scarf, on closer inspection it incorporates syncopated colour sequences, alternating colour transitions and zig-zag stockinette contrasts.

Double thickness, it promises warmth, particularly when coupled with soft, high quality yarns. This pattern is a quick and easy knit which can be customised in colour and length to suit a large variety of different tastes. The yarns, needle sizes and yardages above are suggestions only and are open to adaptation.

This pattern was written with both scarves and cowls in mind and can be started when still uncertain! Only the final steps determine its finished form.
