The design of the Ocean Currents Rug is reminiscent of gentle waves as they make their way to the shore. The patterning has symmetry without predictability, giving the design an almost three-dimensional quality. 


​The wonderfully gentle gradations of colour are achieved by working with two strands of yarn held together in ever-changing combinations. A longer version of the rug can be worked by repeating the central colour sequence one or more times.


Please see below for more information about this pattern.


NB: A pattern for a co-ordinating blanket, the Ocean Currents Blanket, is available separately.
