Night sky was inspired by speckled late sunset clouds, after all the color has faded from the sky. The slip stitch pattern means you work only one color for each row, and the stitches mimic these speckled clouds. The reverse side of the scarf might be even more stunning than the right side!

You’ll need two 100g skeins of fingering weight yarns to knit this scarf. Choose high contrast between your colors for the intended effect. Even if it doesn’t look like the night sky, the slip stitches will still pop!

The pattern is for an adult size, large rectangular scarf. In the yarns called for in the pattern, you’ll use essentially all of both yarns.
