Made with a double strand of a favorite lace-weight mohair and silk blend, you'll have fun playing with color, mixing with ombre shading, or crossing the color wheel for graphic punch. For the scarf, we mixed four solid colors - two at a time - to create shaded color blocking. For the wrap, we played with four softly self-striping colorways - sometimes with themselves, sometimes with each other - so no two pieces will ever be alike. You'll just have to make another one.

I knit English style, so this scarf took forever to do. But the colorwork was so much fun that I didn't mind. Great project to work on while you're chatting with friends (like, at knitting group ;->). Will be making more of these for gifts.
This is an easy pattern -- the only part that was a little tedious was casting on 648 stitches. Just make sure to use the markers ever 50 stitches as recommended. A scarf that is a little different!
