I wanted to make a scarf that displays the tan-and-blue color variations in Blue Earth Dyeworks’s Zebra Blue Tussah Silk yarn. This is a DK / light worsted pure silk yarn, pretty warm because of the protein content of the silk, yet can be airy if knit up in a lacy pattern and blocked.

Wavelet is an easy lace pattern suitable for beginners. It makes a long and narrow scarf, light enough to wear even indoors as a decorative accessory, yet can be warm if wrapped around the wearer’s neck a few times.

The finished scarf is 4 inches wide and 70 inches long after blocking.
Gauge is 14 stitches and 20 rows in 4 inches, but really not critical. The important thing is to knit with a gauge that gives an open, lacy pattern and shows off the wavelet that runs in the middle of the scarf.
