The textured nature of the Salt Water Scarf is reminiscent of the fisherman’s sweaters popular in the Channel Islands. The pattern uses motifs commonly used in those sweaters and are created with just knit and purl stitches.
The pattern also includes a video tutorial that explains the different methods for writing pattern repeats. If you’re new to chart reading or want to learn more about the many ways knitting patterns can be written, this pattern is for you!
A full video tutorial along with written and charted instructions are included.
