I wanted the clapotis to become more of a summer night \/ spring evening shawl.<\/li>\n<li>The math involved! I did 9 whole repeats of section 2 &#8211; increases (and of section 4 &#8211; decreases), and 16 repeats of section 3 &#8211; straight rows. How I got to this amount of repeats? I used 1\/5 of my total yarn, that is, 20 grams, for sections 1 and 2, another fifth for sections 4 and 5, and the remaining 3\/5 (60 grams) for section 3. Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/knittiotherapy.typepad.com\/\">Suemoon<\/a> for this tip.<\/li>\n<li>I slipped the first stitch of every row knitwise, instead of knitting or purling, as directed by the pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The clapotis is done!
