Reversible Stripes Scarf in New Yarns
We take the “opposites attract” axiom to heart with our Reversible Stripe Scarf. Distinctly fluted vertical stripes on one side and smooth-as-stone horizontal pinstripes on the other, it features two subtly different surfaces. When wrapped snugly around your neck, you get to enjoy the beauty of both!
Making this somewhat magical scarf is so simple: an easy slip stitch pattern that uses only one yarn in each row. If this sounds like gibberish to you, we have a video tutorial that explains it all!
In this opposites-attract spirit, we used two very different Purl Soho yarns for this new version of an old favorite pattern. Our gorgeous new Season Alpaca (below) gives this scarf the kind of coziness that feels so good against your neck, while our classic Mulberry Merino brings understated luster and smooth warmth.
Get both yarns together and once you cast on, the realization that you can so easily knit something that appears so complex is perhaps the ultimate example of opposites at work!

Notes
STITCH MULTIPLE
If you would like to adjust this pattern for a different width, simply cast on any odd number of stitches.
SLIP STITCHES
Slip stitches purlwise.
TURN + SLIDE
Each row in this pattern starts with the instructions to either “Turn” or “Slide” the work:
- “Turning the work” means to do what you would normally do when knitting rows with a circular needle. That is to say, put the needle in your left hand into your right and the needle in your right hand into your left, and flip the work around so the opposite side is facing you.
- “Sliding the work” means to keep the same side of the work facing you and to push all the stitches to the right end of the circular needle. Without turning the work, start the new row as you normally would.
You will know that you’re doing this right if the yarn you need to complete the next row is magically there waiting for you! For extra help, check out our Reversible Stripes Stitch video tutorial!
