Salty Waves is an all-season scarf; warm enough to protect your neck in winter, cool enough to be worn at breezy summerevenings. I chose the colors for this scarf quite deliberately as I wanted to recall the feeling of my childhood summers, watching the ever changing sea from my grandparent’s summerhouse on a tiny island in Norway. During the summer-season the color of the waves changed from sea-foam white, trough all the shades of blue, grey and green to almost black.
The 3 contrasting colors run through the scarf like rolling waves, growing, reaching the peak and fading away. No stripe-section is like another, which adds to the interest both for the eye and to the knitting. The scarf is as beautiful at the right side as the “wrong side” and can be worn in so many different ways!
The finished dimensions of the scarf are 168cm/66inches from tip top tip at neckside and 33cm/12inches wide at center back.
Amount of yarn needed is 2 skeins of Main Color/1 skein of each of the 3 Contrasting Colors of Isager Alpaca 2. Please respect gauge for best result if you choose a different wool!
Easily knitted from tip to tip using garter stich only. The white wedges are created using short rows, and no special skills are needed to make this versatile, wearable accesoire!
Choosing other colors you can create a sunset, a meadowfield, a garden of tulips, a forest…. it’s up to you to choose!
The instructions are easy to follow - and row-by row from first to last stich.
Please noteI was left with very little of the MC. To be absoultely sure you might consider buying 4 balls of MC instead of 3…
