Striped Seed Stitch Scarf


I went to a yard sale at a church nearby and found a Lion Brand learn to knit kit that had yarn in it. It was really cheap and came with needle and some yarn, so it seemed like a good buy. I decided to make this scarf using the two colors. I am really pleased with it because I like how the seed stitch pattern incorporates the two colors together in a way that is different from a normal garter or stockinette scarf would. After I blocked the colors looked even clearer and better.

Pattern:

1 Lion Brand Jiffy White (CC)
