stripes and stripes


This pattern is available again, for free !


With nearly all my sock yarn leftovers 
I've made this colourful infinity scarf






Alternating small stripes and large stripes gives a nice colour contrast




I can wear it long or double loop close around the neck




I even made a pair of matching knee warmers
(I really love to wear knee warmers)

This is a simple design with a very colorful result.
Made with sock yarn leftovers but it would work in most weights of yarn,


with 3,5 mm (US 4) needles in at least 9 colors,
more or less 92 meters or 100 yards of each color

The pattern/tutorial is available here

  1. The scarf and legwarmers look terrific. All those colours are like old friends. It's lovely to have so many leftovers. I made my Akaroa cardigan from them and there was so much choice for the colour combinations. Stay warm.

  9. Hello from South Africa. My question is that I love the cropped cardigan but I would love to knit it longer as I am tall. Can you supply enough yarn for me to do the pink version please? Merci Helene ps my daughter lives in Marselle with her husband He is French

    1. Hello Unknown, as you didn't give me a mail address or a name to contact you I'm answering you via this comment section. It's nice to hear you love the cropped cardigan, I suppose you mean "Gitane". I'm sorry to tell you that I'm only the designer of the knitting pattern, I don't actually sell yarn or the kit. The kit is sold by Rennaissance Dyeing, so you should contact them with questions about some extra yarn. But I have to tell you that I don't advice you to make it bigger than the original design, as it is already a time consuming knit because the yarn is very thin. If you really want to knit it longer, I think you need twice the amount of yarn of the kit:) So please contact the yarn supplier:
