The Fake Spring Scarf – so named because a) It’s in bright, springtimey colours, and b) It’s a nice quick knit, so when you’re hit with March snow you’ll have time to knit it up before it all blows out for the season – uses three colours of Cascade Eco+, in my case: 2452 (green), 9454 (purple), and 9451 (blue-green).

It’s a straight garter-stitch scarf (and therefore perfect for a beginner) so gauge doesn’t really matter, but for what it’s worth, I worked at 14 stitches/24 rows = 3 inches.
