Irregular Striped Scarf Pattern

 

I unravelled the scarf again!  I knitted part of 3 strips and plaited them together and I didn’t like the effect – it was too thick and too narrow.

I decided to stop trying to be too clever and to go back to an old favourite – a striped scarf.  I didn’t do this originally because I was worried about the fact that the aran yarn was thinner than the other 2  but I found that if I only knitted a few rows at a time – it is not that obvious.

If you would like to knit a similar scarf – the pattern is given below.  I fancy knitting it again in 3 shades of Noro but that will have to be next year!
