Yes you can. just got to wait for the redsnow to be released.
direct from the dev teams blog
iPad2 owners who have both 4.x blobs and 5.x blobs will always be able to downgrade to those versions, even once you come up to 6.0 and the 5.1.1 window closes (dont do that yet though!). You need both 4.x and 5.x blobs to qualify for the 5.x downgrade even though you only wish to downgrade to 5.x (you need only your 4.x blobs to downgrade to 4.x)
Ive tweeted musclenerd with an update on when its coming.
1. You can't at the moment.
2. You need BOTH ios4 and ios5 blops.
3. It doesn't apply to the Iphone 4s, which is the device in question.
Ive queried that with the dev team. As I presume, so not correct as of yet, that 4s will also be compatible as suggested on the dev team twitter
Didn't iphone 4s come preloaded with IOS5? Then how are you gonna have saved Blobs for ios4?
Unless musclenerd made an announcement today on twitter, you can NOT downgrade the 4S from 6.0 to 5.1.1. I just checked the iPhone dev team blog and he has not updated it since the original posting late last week. In that posting he clearly states you can not downgrade from 6.0 back to iOS5 on the 4S. Once you install 6.0 and apple stops signing 5.1.1 you can not downgrade, even with full blobs. The only reason we can restore our 4S on iOS5 is because of an exploit they found self-contained within that specific firmware. The reason this does not apply to the iPhone 4 and below is because those devices are susceptible to the limera1n exploit.
So the only way you can restore to 5.1.1 on the 4S is if you are STILL on 5.1.1 and have full blobs. This goes for 5.0.1 too. I hope this clears the air a little...assuming nothing has changed since MuscleNerd's original announcement.

lots of technical jargon floating about and I'm struggling to understand it.
Looking at it though I think you are right.
It works on iPad 2 as I've just restored mine as a test but not looking good for 4S
@notcom developed tinyCFW, which lets you downgrade the iPad2, it needs to be downgraded to iOS 4 first and than upgraded again, 3G iPad2 will keep the baseband.
