CLAPOTIS FOR LOOM KNITTERS
Pattern by Kate Gilbert Translated for loom (with permission) by Charity Windham The Clapotis (French for "lapping of water" and is pronounced clap-o-tee) is the most popular project on Ravelry - ever! With over 20,000 projects and climbing every day. No way I wanted us loom knitters to miss out. The original needle knit pattern (be sure to visit the project pages) can be found here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/clapotis I also want to give a HUGE shout out to Kate Gilbert for allowing me to share her fantastic pattern with the loom knitting community. Her website, full of her amazing designs can be found at: http://www.kategilbert.com

MATERIALS:
Deborah Norville Serenity? Garden: 100% Microfiber (acrylic): color = crocus, Fine Weight, 4 skeins used \*important note when selecting yarn: your item will NEED to be blocked once completed. Take care in selecting a yarn that is 1. Able to be blocked and 2. Is very silky/smooth so that you are able to drop your stitches properly. A yarn with a "halo" or sequins will not work well for this yarn. 3/8" peg spacing loom with a minimum of 107 pegs (Martha Stewart Loom was used for sample) ·LoomTool ·Yarn Needle for weaving in ends ·17 stitch/peg markers GAUGE: 19 sts/25 rows = 4" in stockinette ABBREVIATIONS: CO = Yarn Over Cast On (Yarn Over 2 times, Knit bottom loop over top) K = U-Knit Stitch (you may substitute the traditional knit stitch) E=E-Wrap Stitch SK = Skip this peg (do not work this peg) HH = Half Hitch Increase pm&yo = Place marker and Yarn Over - always worked on an empty peg either before a K2tog or after a SSK (Yarn Over = do not e-wrap, simply place yarn in front of peg) K2tog =Knit 2 together (Move loop from working peg over to the right 1 peg. You should now have 1 peg with 2 loops on the right and an empty peg on the left. The peg with 2 loops is the K2tog peg. The empty peg is the pm&yo peg. Knit the bottom two loops over the top loop. ) SSK =Skip, Skip, Knit (Move loop from peg directly to the right of the working peg over to the working. You should now have 1 peg with 2 loops on the peg to the left and 1 empty peg to the right. The empty peg will be the pm&yo peg. The peg with 2 loops is the ssk peg. Knit the bottom two loops over the top loop on the ssk peg.)

You should have 17 stitches on your loom now. NOTE: From this point forward, on even numbered rows, you will always be e-wrap knitting the stitch before the marker, U-Knitting the stitch with the marker, and e-wrap knitting the stitch after the marker. The line of stitches that are on the peg with the marker, will later be dropped and unraveled, and the adjacent columns of e-wrapped stitches will stay nice and tight, helping the fabric keep its structure.

Finish unraveling any drop-stitch ladders that remain unraveled. Weave in ends. Block if desired (scarf can be blocked into a more rectangular shape if desired). Wear it everyday indoors and out and eat a croissant. NOTE: This pattern can easily be adapted for a larger stole or smaller scarf in this way: WorkSet-upRows. Work Increase Rows until piece is desired width. (Measure width along right-hand side of triangle.) Work Increase Rows 1-6 once more before proceeding to Straight Rows. Work Straight Rows until piece is desired length. (Measure length along left-hand side of piece Work Decrease Rows as necessary until 23 sts remain. Work Decrease Rows 1-10 once more. WorkFinal Rows.
