I have a few felted clog/slip-on type slipper patterns, the difference with this one is that it is knit sideways and would be considered more of a beginners pattern.
Knitting: Scarf
“Gallatin Scarf” named after the beautiful Gallatin Valley where I lived. Worked from the bottom up, this scarf works up fairly quickly using worsted weight yarn and size 10 1/2 needles. A simple repeat in the pattern makes this fairly mindless - a great car project.
