Crochet Along (Thread 2) .... One Skein Scarf for beginners

[claaayaaa]

Hello All,
I thought it would be fun to maybe start a new tradition... Once a month do a crochet-along. I will host the first one starting today and then other people can do it and pick out the pattern and post info. I don't know about you guys, but I love this idea because I am a WIP girl, so this will light a fire under me to get this finished. This is a one skein scarf and the pattern is for beginners. You can choose to keep it for yourself or donate it to a good cause. I thought if we did this once a month it would give everyone a chance to participate and have a month before the next project. Here's the pattern...

This is my scarf that I finished...I had to add another color on each end since the skein of yarn was not new and had already had some used out of...

That is very pretty. The yellow on the ends compliment the rest of the scarf. Great job.

[Landon]

How clever of you to add the yellow that way!!! What is the dark colour? I can see the yellow, orange and what else? I love how you made your scarf!
