How elegant and sophistiqué is this scarf? Oh, my WORD, it’s a
beauty!

Oculate (pronounced like a cross between “chocolate” and
“immaculate”: meaning it does not rhyme with “calculate”) is an
intriguing combination of several techniques rolled into one
gorgeous bundle. Large areas of marled garter stitch are separated
by a single, sinuous and graceful, double-knitted cable element that
winds its way along the full length of this scarf, from top to bottom,
interrupted just once, where a captivating feature motif warps the
otherwise regular cable, and bends it into a spellbinding orb, a
dazzling crystal ball, or, perhaps, something resembling an eye,
hence: Oculate.

Worked in cosy, DK-weight yarn, Oculate is a heavy, warm scarf that

will comfort you, keeping you cosy on even the coldest of days.
Deceptively simple, this gentle pattern will fly off your needles, and is perfect for that downtime, telly knitting, where you want something to occupy your fingers, without taking up too much brain bandwidth.

Holding two yarns together marls their colours into a blend of the original two. Separate those two yarns again, for sections of double-knitting, and you unlock a whole world of design possibilities.
