A simple slipped-stitch pattern creates a fun visual element to this knitted scarf. Variegated and handspun yarns are especially suited to this easy-to-memorize stitch pattern, but virtually any yarn (in any weight!) will look stunning in your favorite colors. You could also use various kinds of scrap yarn in place of Color B for a totally unique version!
