Rising Tides
Let the gentle rhythm of your knitting transport you while dreaming of the sea. Sand, shallows, and the deep sea melt together in alternating sections of 1-color Stockinette and 2-color Seed stitch. As the scarf progresses the sections shift, creating a diagonal wave design running the length of the scarf.
There are 2 sets of instructions included. Recipe Style Instructions for adventurous knitters and Row by Row Instructions for knitters who prefer structure.
Techniques: Garter stitch, I-cord edging, Stockinette stitch, Seed stitch, Knitting with 3 colors, Attaching Fringe
Dimensions:
Length - not including fringe: 66”/ 168 cm
Length - including fringe: 86”/218.5 cm.
Width: 15”/ 38 cm
Gauge: 28 stitches and 31 rows = 4”/10 cm in Stockinette stitch using US 3/3.25 mm needle, after blocking.
Yarn:
Little Fox Yarn, Vixen (80% superwash merino wool, 20% silk, 400 yds/366 m, per 100 g skein). Colors used in sample: C1: Silver Birch, C2: Fairie Forest, C3: Smudge.
C1, C2, & C3: 1 skein each: 400 yds/366 m (1200 yds/1097 m total) fingering weight yarn.
Notes: Using Row by Row Instructions, the scarf used up every bit of the C3 including the initial swatch, which I pulled out and began knitting from. If your gauge doesn’t match or you worry about running out, get a second skein.
If using Recipe Style Instructions, yarn amounts may be different than shown.

Main Needle: 29”/74 cm US 3/3.25 mm circular needle for working flat, or straight needles.
Trim Needle: 29”/74 cm US 2/2.75 mm circular needle for working flat, or straight needles.
Or size needed to obtain gauge.
