2 balls of yarn - 2 little scarfs

maybe THE best way to try out new yarns and techniques ;)

Bonnie is worked from the top down and features the beautiful and fun stitch pattern I used for the HEIMATHAFEN pullover.
Starting with the cast-on of all stitches needed for the top edge, this little scarf is worked in dip stitch stripe pattern back and forth. Decreases are worked on both the RS and WS rows until there are only 3 sts left. Yarn overs will be worked and dropped at the start and end of each row to make sure the shawl edges won’t pull in.

Clyde is worked sideways from tip to tip, increasing stitches at one edge until the final (desired) width is reached, then decreasing stitches at the same edge until the very last stitches are on your needle. An easy and beautiful stripe pattern adds interest and makes knitting Clyde a fun and beginner friendly experience.
