NOTES
For this pattern you will pull one strand from each of the seven skeins of yarn. This means, of course, that you will be knitting with seven strands of yarn at once, which may sound harder than it is! You don’t need to worry about organizing the yarns; it’s okay if they twist and cross. You just need to make sure that you wrap all 7 strands around the needle and that the needle picks up all 7 strands when you pull a stitch through, but since the strands tend to cling to each other, that’s easy!

Since this scarf is in stockinette stitch, it will inevitably curl into a tube. It’s quite a wide scarf, so it won’t be a tight tube, but you can definitely expect some curling. We think that’s part of the beauty!
