I was inspired by the beautiful colors of Great Salt Lake to make a scarf.

Great Salt Lake is a diverse ecosystem. From wetlands to salt marshes, the lake has more variety than you might initially think. This diversity is expressed in the lake’s color. Not just blue, the lake displays a myriad of hues. From bright red in the north arm to deep green in the marshes, Great Salt Lake cannot be described with just one color. The Lakeview Scarf displays all the colors of the water that I have observed going out to Great Salt Lake over several years. It is meant to allow the wearer to gauge the current color of the lake through the windows knit into the scarf to compare it to my observations.

This piece was exhibited in the Utah Arts & Museums Statewide Annual exhibition in November, 2015. This statewide annual exhibit is sponsored by the Utah Division of Arts and Museums.

You can follow the design of this pattern on my blog lake•salt•knit: http://lakesaltknit.blogspot.com/

For each color, I used 4 yards of stash yarn. I used 130 grams of main color.
