Shifting Colors Dishcloth Scarf

If you're new to knitting, this Shifting Colors Dishcloth Scarf is a fun knitting tutorial to use for improving your skills. Instead of being knit in one piece, this scarf uses two different dishcloth patterns to create five knit squares which are seamed together to make a scarf. Create two versions of this fabulous scarf using the suggested pattern below, or create your own scarf if your favorite hues. This pattern is a great stashbuster project, as you can mix and match as many solid and striped squares as you please!

Just like the pattern says, it is a great stashbuster. You always need scarves even if it is just to top off an outfit. You never get bored making it because of the different patterns. Definitely a plus. Thank you.

This seems like an awful lot of yarn for just 1 scarf-I will use the pattern as a stashbuster, because I have all sorts of little balls of cotton laying around here.

nifty idea, but I think I'd just pick up each square from the one before. That way - no seaming! :D

I altered the pattern slightly to get the vertical stripes and just continued on.

Very nice; love the color shades. How do I print?

How can I print this pattern?

Highlight what you want to print. Hit control P at the same time. When a new screen comes up select print selected area.

I love this scarf, but don't see a button to print a short version...Thanks
