Ocean Breeze from Susan Barstein Knits is a fun,
sheer, textured cowl to slip over your head. The mix of transparent zig-zag
striping adds a fresh design to this lovely lightweight accessory. The cowl is
knit with the yarn held double and then single for sheer uniqueness. Ocean Breeze
is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then joined to work in the round.
The zig-zag pattern is in written form only.
