Linen stitch melds colors together so beautifully, and the vibrancy of Malabrigo Merino Worsted makes the exercise all the more fun. The scarf pictured uses 14 colorways, each repeated three times in various combinations, but you can use as many or as few as you’d like. The pattern includes a link to the order of colorways used in the scarf pictured, and I’m happy to help you through deciding which colors might work best for you.
