The scarf started out its life as a pattern sample for an afghan that I was designing and I loved it so much I just kept on knitting! I realized I had a bunch of leftover scrap yarns from previous projects (who doesn’t?) so those all got thrown into the mix.

Careful transitions from one color to the next elevate this scrappy scarf above a simple switching of colors. Colors are faded into the next by alternating for set number of times.

Finished unblocked dimensions are about 75 inches long and 6.5 inches wide. Gauge isn’t too important as long as the knitting is kept loose so that the stitches can expand nicely.

This pattern is suitable for an advanced beginner or intermediate knitter.

Yarn recommendations: For a consistent scarf fabric appearance, stick to all worsted yarn. Your choice of colors: use up those scraps! Color blending/transition suggestions are given in the directions.
