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 as 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.

I knit two samples for this pattern. The first was created with indie-dyed yarns. For a more budget friendly option, I used KnitPicks Felici self-striping yarn for the second version. I love them both and hope you will too!

Materials Needed:

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

Needles:
Two 4 US (3.5 mm) 24” (61 cm) circular needles or size needed to obtain gauge

Notions:
Waste yarn (smooth yarn works best)
Crochet hook about the same size as your needle
Stitch marker
Tapestry needle
