Reversible Stripes
A bit of Woven Stitch, a dash of Linen Stitch, and voila, Reversible Stripes, all through the magic of slip stitches! One side of this stitch pattern is smooth and flat, with seemingly woven thin, horizontal pinstripes. The other side is textured in deep, hearty ridges, running in vertical stripes like a knotted tweed.
Now that you’ve got the stitch down, put it to good use! Check our our free Reversible Stripes Scarf pattern.
Make it punchy and high contrast, like above, or soft and subtle, like below. Either way, Reversible Stripes are fun, interesting, and totally beautiful!
Thanks for this amazing tutorial. I plan to use it very soon. I am glad I found your site.

This is beauitful! Is there a way to decrease? Like if this is used for a hat?
Hello Sarah!
What a clever idea! This stitch pattern would look awesome in a hat, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to continue the color pattern throughout the crown of a hat because the intricacies of the stitch pattern would be interrupted. I would try using this stitch pattern for the body of the hat and then just using the darker color to finish off the crown of the hat. Give it a shot and let us know if you have any other questions! Happy Knitting! -Alyson
Thanks for your very clear instructions. I am a beginner in the use of circular needles and this video has inspired me.
