Today's Scarf -- Amy Anderson's "Pardon Me, Your Slip is Showing

November is Scarf Month at Off the Beaten Path. We are knitting up lots of demos and will try to showcase one scarf a day here on the blog throughout the month.


Today's scarf is Amy Anderson's "Pardon Me, Your Slip is Showing." This pattern uses a slip-stitch technique to create a two-color scarf without having to carry the second color. You knit with one color at a time, just slipping the stitches in the "other" color in pattern. It's really easy and fun, and creates a complicated-looking end product.


The $4 pattern includes instructions for three scarves, all using the two-color slip-stitch technique. I knit this one up using not-quite-one skein each of SWTC's Yin, in pink and brown. I think it would also be really pretty and soft in Frog Tree alpaca or Fibre Company Khroma.
