Ocean Waves Scarf

This pattern creates a lovely scarf with eyecatching eyelets, making it textured like the waves on the ocean! The pattern is created using the 4-row eyelet mock cable stitch repeat, with ribbing on each edge. This pattern is written in such a way that it can be created to any desired length. The pattern can be adjusted to be wider altering the cast on amount as long as the cast on is a multiple of 5 plus 2.

To create the aesthetic of waves use eyelet mock cable stitch for the body of the scarf. This is created using a 4 row repeat:

Continue this 4 row repeat until the desired length is reached, suggested 36" (child) or 70" (adult).
