Clapotis… no. 3?
I didn’t realize it until Morgen posted Clapotis no. 2, but I have, in fact, been knitting the same beautiful scarf pattern. And I gotta admit I love it, too.
I used Highlands Kid Slique yarn from Prism. This yarn is a double strand, one of mohair, the other of a shiny and colorful rayon blend. I also added beads to the pattern which involved a level of yarn separating OCD over three skeins that I won’t be repeating any time in the near future.
The indications for changing the pattern to suit worked great, I knit this on #13 needles at half the width of the original. It’s almost a shame that summer is coming and I’ll have to hang it up for the season. Nah. I take that back. I’ll gladly do the sun dance for whatever nice weather we get around here in the next few weeks.

Would you mind telling me how many skeins of Kid Slique you used, and where you found the Clapotis No. 2 pattern? Love this, and have a ton of Kid Slique that would be perfect for it.
I used 3 skeins of Highlands Kid Slique on #13 needles. The Clapotis pattern is available at Knitty.com under the Wraps section in the archive or here. The pattern is broken into five sections, for this scarf follow Section 1 as written; Section 2 repeat twice plus rows 1-6; Section 3 repeat 8 times; Section 4 repeat twice plus rows 1-10; Section 5 follow as written. The no. 3 part just comes in because Morgen and I have now posted three examples of this beautiful pattern. To string the beads I pulled apart each skein into its individual balls, then strung beads along the entire mohair strand before rewinding for knitting. Enjoy!
