Great for these cold days!
The pattern works nice with multicolour yarns (handspun and commercial) and it looks good in solid colours.
The long stitches give a nice texture and look really interesting when using semisolid of multicolour yarn.
The main pattern is only a 6 stitches repeat, so cast on multiple of 6 stitches plus 2 edge stitches to make it wider or narrower.
Keep knitting the pattern repeats for a scarf of desired length.

Just a quick note for those of you who find the original length of this neckwarmer too short for your liking - keep knitting in pattern until you’re happy with the length.

I guess I have a skinny neck ;o)
