Melanie helps with the stained glass scarf.

Dear Carolyn,
Through the grapevine I heard that some people were having trouble knitting the Stained Glass Scarf on page 80 of Handknit Holidays. Would it be possible for you to post the following clarification?
Thanks.
Melanie

The pattern is correct as written, but here is a clarification to the note that appears at the beginning of the Two-Stranded Method.

When working this stitch pattern, with the exception of the first and last st, all sts are worked in pairs; either a [k1, p1] pair or a [p1, k1] pair. The [k1, p1] pairs produce a knit st on both sides of the fabric; the [p1, k1] pairs produce a contrasting purl st on both sides of the fabric. For all [k1, p1] pairs, carry both colors in the same hand, taking both strands to the back when knitting and both strands to the front when purling; knit or purl with only the color indicated. For all [p1, k1] pairs, separate the strands with the color to be purled in the front and the color to be knit in the back. Make sure the strands are not twisted.
