Materials:
- US 15 10 mm straight knitting needles

- Yarn/tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Measuring Tape
Sizing:
- 8.5 inches wide
- 68 inches long
Pattern Notes:
- I used a yarn cake with a color block effect, but this would also be great with a solid yarn, self-striping yarn, or variegated yarn too!
- Sizing above is a guideline but you can easily customize this scarf by casting on more/less stitches to adjust the width. To adjust the length, simply work more/less rows of the pattern.
