We’re heading into another heatwave here in the UK, so that’s the perfect time to write about a knitted scarf, right? I’ve had this item finished for a while but it’s taken time to get the perfect photo.

I had a lot of yarn leftover from knitting this blanket and remembered a scarf pattern I had stumbled across that featured five different colours alternating in different size stripes. I’m not that great at colour co-ordination, so having a set of five yarns that definitely went together meant this was the perfect opportunity to kick off this new pattern.

I had hoped to be able to get through the pattern three full times, but ended up running out of one of the yarns so it was only two and a half really, but I love the outcome. I added the fringing which I’m now not sure about, but it didn’t seem complete without it.

This is a really great pattern for using up lots of old scraps, so I’m sure I’m going to be trying this again.
