This scarf is worked as a knitting stitch sampler. Each yarn in the bundle has its own stitch pattern designed to accent the different textures. Switch yarns at the end of each sequence, and leave a tail at least 9 inches long to incorporate into the fringe.

Fringe:

Cut fringe in lengths of 18 to 20 inches, 12 to 16 per yarn type. Attach 3 to 4 doubled fringe lengths (6 to 8 of the brushed mohair located in the center band) at each end on the matching stripes with a crochet hook, and knot fringe yarns of the same type together with an overhand knot, approximately one inch from the end of the scarf. Trim to a matching length.

Soak in warm water with a drop of shampoo or wool wash, roll in a towel or spin in the washer, and pin out flat to dry. Note: You may wish to attach the fringe after you block it, to keep it from getting tangled during blocking.
