Sidekick is an asymmetrical scarf (in 2 size options) with a simple slip-stitch pattern that’s both approachable and engaging to knit (and looks great on either side). It’s the kind of project you can take anywhere - just like a true sidekick, it’s always ready to come along for the ride!

Designed in partnership with Loop Yarn Shop and featuring their soft and colorful Flora yarn, this scarf pattern is free with a Flora purchase through Loop (click here to shop their yarn & get the pattern). For those who prefer to work from stash or explore other yarn options, it’s also available to purchase individually here on Ravelry.

Note: Exact gauge is not critical in this piece - you can easily adapt this design as you go to work with different weight yarns.

This is a beginner-friendly pattern - it includes link to my tips page which has video tutorials on all the stitches/techniques used (as well as other helpful tips) so you can feel confident making your own Sidekick!
