Dual Colored Mini-Scarf

Since a lot of the stuffed animals I own possess some wierd affinity or love for scarves, I decided to write up a pattern for a stuffed animal scarf. Athena the Owl was the stuffed animal I had in mind when determining the size for this piece, but it can be made larger or smaller, depending on what you want.

Materials

US Size 3 or 4 needles (You can use either straights, circulars or dpns. I used dpns for this because there were few enough stitches not to worry about the stitches slipping off the ends.)
Worsted weight yarn in two colors (MC and CC)
Tapestry thread to sew in loose ends

Skills

Knitting and purling
Basic color changes through stripes

Pattern Rating

Beginner

Instructions

CO 10 stitches.
Odd Rows: k2, p2, k2, p2, k2 (10 sts)
Even Rows: p2, k2, p2, k2, p2 (10 sts)
Rows 1-6: done in MC
Rows 6-12: done in CC
Rows 13-18: MC
Rows 19-24: CC
Repeat until you have 7 blocks of each color. (14 blocks total, 84 rows)
On your eighth block, work five rows of pattern. On the sixth row, BO in pattern (knit the knits and purl the purls.
Using a tapestry needle, weave in the loose ends.

Enjoy!
