The “IF” command is used exensively in computer programming to simplify complex tasks. This command specifies a condition; the program does one thing if the condition is met and something else otherwise. The (Un)Conditional Love Blanket uses a conditional knit stitch (Cond-K) and a conditional purl stitch (Cond-P). When working these stitches, look at the next stitch on your needle, **IF** it’s the same colour as your working yarn you work it otherwise you slip it. Why do this? To create a 3 colour, reversible scarf with a DIFFERENT colour pattern on each side using the SAME stitch pattern for every row! This sounds strange! Does this make it easier? Can I do it? You follow conditional instructions every day. You stop at a red light and go on green. It feels automatic. These conditional stitches will feel automatic within a few rows. Watch how it's done! +[(Un)Conditional Love Blanket](https://youtu.be/IDfVk1rbbn8) Try this technique with the [Conditional Love Scarf](/patterns/library/conditional-love-scarf) -- a free pattern from Knitty Magazine! *Gradient Version* *Yarn:* 2 colours of 2 skeins each of DK weight yarn & DK weight gradient set with total yardage of at least 2 skeins of DK weight yarn *Yardage:* 488 yds/ 446 m of each colour & gradient *Gauge:* 22 sts and 48 rows in 4 in/ 10 cm worked in garter stitch *Finished Size:* Width 37 in/ 94 cm; Length 32 in/ 81 cm **Recommended Yarn:** [Marianated Yarns Phoebe DK Gradient Kit](http://marianatedyarns.com/products/unconditional-love-blanket) Mango Blast, Hidden Peak & Fairy Tale Gradient *Scrappy Version* *Yarns*: 2 colours of 2 skeins each of DK weight yarn & fingering weight scrap totally twice the yardage of each other colour *Yardage*: 488 yds/ 446 m of 2 DK weight colours & 1000 yds/ 914 m of fingerweight scrap *Gauge:* 22 sts and 48 rows in 4 in/ 10 cm worked in garter stitch; working 1 row each of Colour A, Colour C and holding 2 yarns of Colour B together. *Finished Size:* Width 37 in/ 94 cm; Length 32 in/ 81 cm **Recommended Yarns:** [Marianated Yarns Phoebe DK Scrappy Version](https://marianatedyarns.com/products/unconditional-love-blanket-scrappy-version) in Morning Mist & Torrential Downpour; Practicality Fingering weight scraps in an assortment of colours. *Solid Colours Version* See [Conditional Love Scarf](/patterns/library/conditional-love-scarf) for colour inspiration *Yarn:* 3 colours of 2 skeins each of DK weight yarn *Yardage:* 488 yds/ 446 m of each colour *Gauge:* 22 sts and 48 rows in 4 in/ 10 cm worked in garter stitch *Finished Size:* Width 37 in/ 94 cm; Length 32 in/ 81 cm **Recommended Yarn:** [Marianated Yarns Phoebe DK](https://marianatedyarns.com/collections/phoebe-dk) Tidal Pool, Sting & Hoth *Variegated Version* *Yarn:* 2 solid colours & 1 variegated colour; 2 skeins each of DK weight yarn *Yardage:* 488 yds/ 446 m of each colour *Gauge:* 22 sts and 48 rows in 4 in/ 10 cm worked in garter stitch *Finished Size:* Width 37 in/ 94 cm; Length 32 in/ 81 cm **Recommended Yarn:** [Marianated Yarns Phoebe DK](https://marianatedyarns.com/collections/phoebe-dk) Mango Blast, Dragon of the North, Tide Pool Tantrum Ways to learn about my designs: - Visit [MaryWMartinKnits.com](https://marywmartinknits.com) - [subscribe to my newsletter](https://marywmartinknits.myflodesk.com/) and receive a free pattern too, - [join me in my Ravelry group](https://www.ravelry.com/groups/mary-w-martin-knits) for discussion of my patterns, - [join the earburn list](https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/mary-w-martin-knits/4046106/1-25#1) for notifications of pattern releases and test knits.
