Yes, Martina, it’s ANOTHER Hitchhiker! I just can’t stop myself from knitting this pattern.

I fiddled around with the placement and distribution of the two colors, and am happy with this result. The alternating color bands keep the multi-colored yarn from looking too muddy, as when it’s the only color. I guess I’m lucky I didn’t have enough of either color to begin with. Francesca needs a neck scarf with some wool and some colors. Here we go; it’s for her black jacket and red bibs.

The multi-color band is 14 rows (7 ridges) in garter stitch, the red marl band is 10 rows of stockinette stitch. The unused color was carried up the long, increase edge; and I used the rolling 5-stitch garter border detail from Martina’s 22 Little Clouds. The scarf is shown with the Dulcie Hat and this super-simple Drops Headband - I made two, because there was Just Enough Yarn Left.

The finished size is 73” long x 18” deep; the total weight (both colors) is 198 grams.

I would knit a blanket out of the same yarns, if I had the them. The alternating color and texture make for a pleasing pair. The weight is lessened by the stockinette stitch, and the garter stitch gives it body. Yes, I would knit a blanket like this.

Update: Francesca loves her scarf!
