Mini-Clapotis
I finished a Mini-Clapotis about a week ago. Finally! Something for *me* for a change!

I used about 500 yds (a little over 2 hanks) of Mountain Colors Mountain Goat yarn in the "Mystic Lake" colorway, and it wound up being 13.5" wide x 74" long.

Oh that is gorgeous! How did you figure out how to make it smaller? I love that pattern, but for some reason consider it to be "beyond" me!

I used the pattern from the kpixie site. Basically, you reduce the number of repeats in the increase section of the pattern to make it narrower.

Trust me - I just stared at the pattern for months, but I joined the Clapotisknitalong2005 Yahoo Group where someone had posted an Excel spreadsheet that broke the pattern down row-by-row. Once I saw that, it didn't seem nearly as intimidating.
