This is a scarf version of my Sediment blanket--or rather, I should say my “sediment” theory of knitting cheaply and greenly. For more ideas, see my blog.

You need to gather all of your ball ends and bits; the shortest can be 12 inches long. Sort them into major color groups. I sorted mine into yellows, greens, reds, and blue/purples--but you can choose whatever organization your choose based on the colors you have.

You can even buy leftover bits of yarn from thrift stores--what others would consider trash can become a beautiful scarf.
