Notes

Made swatch with my worsted weight yarn, got a gauge of 16sts/4in.

Used a 4,5mm needle and knitted the short rows with the wrap method instead of the yarnover method.

Added a few more short rows in the Creating a little more depth and Short rows for waves section.

Did not break the worsted weight yarn when switching to fingering weight. It did not bother me to have an extra ball next to me, yet I would have hated weaving in two more ends.

In the fingering weight section I wrapped and turned work at every 3rd st and knitted 63 repeats to create a bit more depth and trying to achieve a bit more of a shawl like shape instead of a scarf.

I love it, wear it quite often along with my matching Rikke hat.
