Scarf design is in stripes and calls for 7 colors.

From Hip to Crochet:



"If you need a "perfect" first project, this is it. The scarf uses only one stitch, and the stripes are easy to measure. Practice changing colors and making even edges as you crochet the stripes. Depending on your mood or your wardrobe, use as few or as many colors as you want. Heck, make a scarf for every day of the week."
