Cheerful, delightful, and creative – Bubbling Interplay takes freshly blown bubbles and lands them playfully on your knitting! Let your two favorite colors bounce and connect along the length of this made-for-summer scarf design. For bubbles that pop pick two highly contrasting colors. For more subtle bubbles use two mildly contrasting colors, as shown.

This slipped stitch cable design invites you to practice a rarely used technique – wrong side cables! But since it is so infrequently seen, the pattern keeps it easy with 1/1 cables and leaves the more advanced cables for the right side only.

The tech edited and test knit pattern is fully written and fully charted.

Cable It Wrong Side: wrong side cables are very intuitive. If you are new to them, here are some tips

• 1/1 LC cables knit on the rs are 1/1 LC cables purled on the ws.
• 1/1 RC cables knit on the rs are 1/1 RC cables purled on the ws. Check out the Knit Eco Chic website for a video demonstration of each of the four wrong side cables used - Working Wrong Side Cables. Count It: row by row stitch counts are included in written directions. Track It: since this garter slipped stitch design is worked flat, the color changes and numbering are similar to that of brioche. Each Row number is worked twice - once with MC and once with CC. So that’s two consecutive right side rows followed by two wrong side rows. A circular needle is used to enable moving to the end to pick up the appropriate color where it was left off.
