Materials:
3 balls knitting worsted weight yarn, 100 gm balls, one each red, white,
blue
4.5 mm (US #7) double pointed needles
Gauge:
20 sts to 4 inches
If you want to add a fringe, cut them before finishing your scarf so you do not run out.
Pattern:
Cast on 40 sts in red. Join in round, being careful not to twist
the stitches.
Knit in red for 3 inches, change to white and knit for 1 1/2 inches, change to blue and knit for 3 inches, change to white and knit for 1 1/2 inches.
Repeat until the scarf is as long you wish, or until all the yarn is used. I plan to make mine about 7 feet long so it will wrap many times around my neck.
Graft the ends closed and add fringe if you wish.
When you change colours, just tie a secure knot and do not worry about weaving the ends in since it is a tube and you will not see the joins.
I first tried it with 3 inches each red, white, blue, but when I started again with the red beside the blue I was not happy with it, so frogged it back to insert 1 1/2 inches white in between the red and blue.
Very mindless knitting. I was also thinking of using up lots of bits and colours to make a long rainbow scarf.
