Slipstream Scarf

Slipstream Scarf
I designed this scarf based on a stitch I first learned making this afghan. The pattern doesn’t really differ from the pattern for the square made for the afghan, with a couple of exceptions. Try to weave in as many color change ends as you go as possible. Otherwise, you will be weaving in a lot of ends during your finishing.
