This is a colorful scarf, and with the jumbo weight yarn and large needles it will knit up quickly. My only issue is the Red Heart Collage yarn is an acrylic and wool blend, and I don't use wool (or other animal based fibers). But it's easy enough to substitute another type of yarn, maybe even a self patterning one.
