This was a commission knit for a friend, made from custom-spun rainbow gradient yarn. While the spinning isn’t my handiwork**, the knitting is!
(Please excuse the poor blocking pic, it was a bitch to pin out!)

I used the usual Clapotis pattern, but made it narrower by only doing 4 repeats of the increase section, instead of 6. Length was the key here, to get as much as possible out of the yarn, and to get a full rainbow. It worked!
I was left with this much (not enough for a pattern repeat)
As usual, the pattern got a little repetitive in the middle section, but at least the rainbow yarn kept it interesting!
**The original yarn pics are available here and here
So I frogged it, let the yarn marinade a little longer in the stash, to be reborn.
I am glad to see them finally knitted up and loved, but whoah, wollmeise does NOT like being frogged and re-knit. Splitty and all hell, and the twist was all over the place.
