I prefer one color knitting, either pink, beige or blue. To go with the “Maybe This Time song” theme, I had to to knit something new. Knitting in black and white is completely new for me. Why? Because I think that knit stitches are barely visible in white and black yarn. Also, I don’t think they’re the most feminine colors.
I stepped up my knitting and started with a simple black and white striped scarf. It’s too hot here in Los Angeles so I picked a loose drop stitch pattern with very little garter stitch.
Black and White Striped Drop Stitch Scarf Pattern Instructions:
from A Long Thin Knit Scarf Blog at http://1knitscarf.wordpress.com/ With your black yarn, cast on 11 stitches with size 11 needles.
- Knit 4 rows
- Begin drop stitch across the row: knit 1, yarn over 3 times
- Across row: knit 1, drop 3 yarn overs
Drop the black yarn, with your white yarn,
- Knit 4 rows
- Begin drop stitch across the row: knit 1, yarn over 3 times
- Across row: knit 1, drop 3 yarn overs
You’ll repeat this 10 times. When you knit with the black yarn, gently pick up your black yarn like this.

Most of the time I wear Indian pantsuits and tops and yeah, the colors are bright red, pink, green, or purple. I don’t remember buying black and white combinations. I like to knit with red yarn because it goes with any pale color top.
