NOTE
This scarf is worked in seed stitch, alternating between 3 different yarns every third row. You will not cut the yarn between each row. Instead, at the end of each row simply drop the old yarn, turn and begin the next row with the next yarn. Take care to not pull the new yarn too tight when beginning each row.
