In the morning, I was catching up on my reader after being away from the internet for a few days. This post by Simply Hooked caught my eye. I loved the colors and the style of the finished scarf. It is a moss stitch done in two colors and the resulting pattern made great soft stripes.
I had crochet class at night, and decided to try out the stitch using cotton yarn. I usually try out a new stitch on a dishcloth so I can do something with the resulting swatch. This ended up a bit differently due to some laziness on my part. I did not carry the yarn, so there would have been a lot of ends to weave in. Instead, I tucked them all inside, crocheted up the edges and will have another crocheted sponge substitute to use, albeit a slightly stuffed one.
Everyone in class noticed the stitch and commented on it. They were as surprised as I was to find out how simple it is. I’m planning on a scarf or cowl eventually with some nice soft yarn, but that will probably wait until after the holidays are over.

I have used moss stitch many times but have but have not thought to use two colors. This is great!
One of the best parts about blogging this year has been discovering neat twists on things like this from other bloggers.
Love the color combo and stitch!
The white really sets the other color off. The original post I saw had it in purple and white.
I am doing it in 3 colours just now – with no ends to weave in!
I can’t wait to see it. The no ends to weave is VERY appealing! Thank you for the inspiration to try this.
Ha a scarf popped into my head before I read that far. Two great minds…
The stitch really does scream “make me into a scarf”, doesn’t’ it?
