Dappolito Crossover Design

Tired of knitting the same garter-stitch or ribbed scarf? Try a more interesting design that looks much more complicated than it is to make. The crossover column stitch used for this scarf creates a mock-cable design that works well with super-bulky weight yarn. If using the same stitch pattern with a lighter-weight yarn, a lacy effect is prominent between the columns.

This pattern is for intermediate knitters. The techniques needed include casting on, the knit stitch, purl stitch, yarn over, slip stitch, passing a slipped stitch over, binding off, and weaving in loose ends. Beginning knitters can view the following tutorials to learn how to slip a stitch. Visit Lion Brand Yarn's website for more knitting tutorials.

Determining Gauge
