Ripples and Rain

> Celebrating release day - please enjoy 20% OFF using code RandR **Ripples and Rain** **2 patterns in 1** **1 skein – 2 little beauties!** *The idea for this duet came about whilst I was on holidays in the Maritimes and Newfoundland, Canada, this past summer. I came across Lichen and Lace for the first time in a little gift shop on Cape Breton. Well of course I had to check out ALL the yarn, so I popped by Megan's fab shop in cute Sackville New Brunswick. A week later, I cast on Ripples at Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse, Newfoundland, on one of the most tranquil days of our holiday. Check out my knitting day [there on Instagram][1]. A little slice of heaven!* **Ripples and Rain** is a scarf and shawlette duo of patterns for you to enjoy, using only 1 skein of yarn to make both! Perfect amuse-bouche delights to cleanse your palate between larger projects, and they make for the perfect gifts! **RIPPLES** is a long narrow scarf worked lengthwise, tip to tip. Like the much loved [Riptide Scarfette][2], the fun and elegant Riptide stitch pattern frames two panels of simple pointelle lacework, resulting in a very feminine and pretty neck scarf. The length is completely adjustable to your own desire! **RAIN** is a feminine triangular shawlette that is worked lengthwise, tip to tip. The Riptide stitch pattern frames the entire shawlette edge, encapsulating simple elegant pointelle lacework throughout, like raindrops on still water. The size is easily adjustable. Stitches are increased along one edge until you reach half of your yarn weight (or your desired width) and then you commence decreasing stitches to the end tip. Make the petite sample size shown in blue-green or go for a larger shawlette shown in coral-pink! _____________________ **Pattern:** 2 patterns in one You will receive two separate patterns (pdf's), one for Ripples and one for Rain. The patterns are both fully written row by row and completely charted. ______________________ **1 skein - 2 projects** The beauty of these patterns is that you can make both from only 1 skein of yarn. For example: From the Beach Glass (blue-green) skein of yarn I made Ripples AND Rain as per the repeats stated in the patterns. From the Faded Rose (coral-pink) skein of yarn I made a larger Rain shawlette (instructions for this mod are included in the pattern), AND a smaller version of Ripples (I worked less repeats). If you are planning on making both Ripples and Rain from the same skein, it is recommended that you make Rain first, so as to not run out of yarn. Ripples length is easier to adjust. There is a lot of detailed information below for each of the four samples made. Please take time to read through. An extra (approx) 10% yarn contingency has been to the quantities, so as to provide some buffer. To see each of the four individual projects I have provided links below. _______________________ **YARN:** **Lichen and Lace, 1ply Eco Fingering** 100g (366m/ 400 yds, 100% GOTS Organic Merino).
