Those wonderful self-striping knitting yarns for socks create relaxed plaids when used in warp and weft. You’ll love this one-skein scarf that's quick to warp and fun to weave as you watch the plaid develop. Weave more than one—no two are exactly the same.

If you are a knitter, then you are already familiar with self-striping yarns for socks. However, if you are a weaver, you may not know that the yarns are also perfect for making self-plaiding scarves. After all, plaid is simply stripes of warp crossed with stripes of weft. Yvonne experimented with three sock yarns and found that each one was different and fun. This scarf is the result of one of her experiments.
