Ocean Currents Rug Knitting Pattern

Sitting by the harbour watching the waves gently rolling in, the moving patterns of light and shade and the ever-changing colours in the water… summer is made from memories such as these. This rug captures those moments by working with two strands of yarn held together in ever-changing combinations. The patterning has symmetry without predictability, giving the design an almost three-dimensional quality. The pattern includes instructions for three sizes to make a medium or large bedside rug or a slim runner for a smaller bedroom or hallway.

Note:Please see my LoveCrafts listings for a co-ordinating blanket, the Ocean Currents Blanket.
