PATTERN NOTES
This two-color scarf is knit from the center out starting with a small number of stitches. The center is knit in the round until the desired width is achieved, half the stitches are then put on hold and each side is knit flat, back and forth in rows. Increases and decreases maintain the shape of the scarf on each side but do not affect the overall stitch count.

The Two-Color Slip Stitch Stripe pattern is used for your gauge swatch and is not specifically referenced in the pattern instructions. It is found in the Stitch Guide.
In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise. The stitch patterns are also charted for your convenience.
