Fire and Rain

$5.00

Fire & Rain is knit in the round and features a fun (but easy!) slip stitch rib pattern that looks great on either side. And, there are options for 2 different yarn weights: sport or worsted!

Knit in Purl Soho’s gorgeous Worsted Twist (for the worsted-weight version, shown in Red Poppy & Reed Gray) and Seasons Alpaca (for the sport-weight version, shown in Blue Jeans & Cerulean).

Wear it long or double it up around your neck for a cozier fit. And don’t worry if you’ve never worked a 2 color slip stitch pattern before – pattern includes link to a video tutorial that will show you exactly how to do it! This is a fun, relaxing project that you’ll look forward to working on each day.

This is the PDF version of the pattern. After going through the checkout you will receive an email with a downloadable PDF link. If you prefer to purchase through Ravelry, click here.
