How to Create Knit Plaid the Easy Way
Hey guys! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is this week? I wanted to pop in today and show you an easy technique for creating a plaid design on knit items. This will work with Stockinette knits and ribbing. It's a great way to dress up a basic scarf or throw! 
To add a plaid design, simply crochet on the surface of the knit. Once you get going, the stripes move along pretty fast. 
I have plenty of DIYs and patterns to share this week, so be sure to check back!

Continue working upwards by picking up the stitch directly above and making a single crochet.  Work the whole length of the scarf. Break yarn, make a knot and weave in ends when you reach the other side of the scarf.
