Knitting with Thick and Thin Yarn??

[varianbetweenstars]

I need help finding a pattern for this yarn.

I have two skeins (220 yards) of this yarn [link] in a lovely variegated green color, and unfortunately this yarn has been discontinued. This morning I tried to do a simple ribbed pattern with size 11 needles, and found that it was awkward to knit with, because the thick-and-thin texture of the yarn.

I'd like to make a scarf, since I only have 220 yards of this yarn. Does anyone know any scarf patterns that work well with thick-and-thin yarn?

You can try the multidirectional diagonal scarf or the holding hands, feeding ducks scarf.

The "Holding Hands, Feeding Ducks" scarf keeps coming up with this yarn, so I'll be looking into that one.

Update: the star stitch made my hands hurt, so nevermind on that one.

Yeah, the star stitch needs a lot of force behind it, so it can be really rough.

You might want to try a moebius scarf in seed stitch, instead. That might compensate for the thick-and-thin.
