Pip
design by Mona Schmidt - Knit Stricken!
Pip is a fun knit using only one skein of worsted weight yarn and knit up on rather large needles to get a very drapey fabric. Knit in Stockinette Stitch Pip has an unfinished, almost deconstructed look, no blocking required! On the first half you work increases at the beginning of the row, on the second, you are decreasing at the end of the row. Note: Worked in Opus 1 the 207 yds are JUST enough to make this scarf. There will be no leftovers. It is important to get gauge.
