FO 2005-05: Clapotis #1

Six days later, the 3 hanks of Four Play are transformed into le Clapotis. This one will be mailed to my best friend from grade school. Her birthday is in a couple of weeks.

Yarn: Brooks Farm Yarn Four Play, color = 4P9, 3x(4oz - 270yds)
Needles: Denise #8
Pattern: Clapotis, Knitty Fall 2004

Pattern mods:
  • Took a tip from Yarn Harlot and purled the stitches to be dropped. This eliminated the need for stitch markers.
  • Added one extra set of increases.
  • Used 3oz for the increase section, then started the decreases when there was approx 3-1/4oz of yarn left.

  • Beautiful! You're going to have one very happy friend. You knit faster than I do - I started on Monday & I'm still on the straight section and just getting ready to drop stitch column #7.
