Wait, horizontal stripes on one side and vertical on the other? WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT?!? It's called Double Knitting - it looks like magic but it's just a little fancy trick with a slipped stitch. Come and learn how to make two different skeins of yarn come together to create this beauty. You can stop at a pot holder/hot pad size - but I'm guessing you'll love this pattern so much that you'll want to continue on to the scarf size.

Says Designer Sara Baldwin: The magic about this pattern is that the stripes are vertical on one side, and horizontal on the other! This slip stitch pattern may seem a bit fussy at first, but it is easily memorized after a few rows.

This makes a nice thick hotpad if worked in worsted weight cotton, but with wool and larger needles it is a striking and unique scarf! The scarf In the last two photos used #8 needles and 31 stitches for a scarf 4.75 inches wide. 

I have also made this hot pad (pot holder) in wool, and then felted it (if you do it this way, be sure to add extra length before felting!)
