Dots and Dashes Loop

Get that beautiful striping sock yarn out of your shoes and wear it for the world to see! This versatile loop scarf can be worn doubled for warmth or in a single loop as a fashion piece.

This beginner level pattern pairs self-striping yarn with a coordinating solid. It begins with a provisional cast on, has lots of meditative round-and-round knitting with a few lace rows thrown in for spice and visual interest. Then for the grand finale, grafting the ends together! That’s so much fun – it’s almost like magic.

Materials Needed: Yarn: 100 grams each of self-striping (color 1) and solid or semisolid (color 2) fingering weight yarn
