So Many Stripes...So Cool on a Scarf!

This multi-stitch scarf is so interesting, not only for the striping but the use of different stiches in the stripes.

SIZE:
6 x 62 in. (15 x 157.5 cm)

MATERIALS
• 860-174 Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn: Olive
1 Ball (A)• 860-170 Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn: Pea Green
1 Ball (B) • 860-108 Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn: Dusty
1 Ball (C) • 860-173 Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn: Dusty Green
1 Ball (D) • Lion Brand Knitting Needles- Size 9 [5.5 mm]
• Large-Eyed Blunt Needles


GAUGE:
16 sts + 22 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:
Seed Stitch
Row 1: *K1, p1, rep from * to end.
Row 2: P the knit sts and k the purl sts as they appear.
Rep Row 2 for Seed st.

NOTES:
Colors and stitch patterns used are changed throughout the Scarf. New colors are sometimes added in the middle of the row. Leave 4 in. (10 cm) length of new and old color hanging loose when changing colors. Do not weave in ends.
