MATERIALS:
- 3 balls of chunky yarn/#5 or bulky weight yarn/#6, labeled A, B, C: (Note: the bulky weight may be achieved with one yarn or by combining two yarns together)
- Yarn A: 175-feet (59 yards)
- Yarn B: 125-feet (42 yards)
- Yarn C: 125-feet (42 yards)
- 2 25-foot balls of lightweight novelty yarn
DIRECTIONS:
Holding Yarn A and one ball of novelty yarn together, cast on 10 stitches or few enough stitches to make a scarf at least 4-inches wide but not wider than 4.5-inches. Knit every row until you use up the novelty yarn. Stop at the end of a row, not in the middle.
Holding Yarn A to the back, attach Yarn B and knit one row. Do not cut.
Holding Yarn B to the back, add Yarn C and knit one row. Do not cut.
Pick up Yarn A and knit one row. Do not cut.
Pick up Yarn B and knit one row. Do not cut.
Pick up Yarn C and knit one row. Do not cut.
Continue in this manner until your scarf is about 56-inches long, ending with Yarn C. Attach 2nd ball of novelty yarn and pick up Yarn A. Continue knitting with Yarn A and novelty yarn until this end of scarf matches the first end
Please sign your first name on the Handmade tag and use a piece of scrap yarn to attach it to your scarf.
Note: The trick to doing this without tangling your yarn is to move the yarn balls after each change. The ball you are knitting should be on your right. The ball you have just finished should be at your top left. The ball you will do next should be at your bottom left. Move each ball after each yarn change to avoid tangles.
