I got inspiration for this scarf from colours of Finnish autumn leaves.
In October the nature was full of the most beautiful shades of red, green, yellow, orange and brown!
To demonstrate this colourful and lively view I used very nice deep red yarn with small spots and bobbles and then added two soft contrast colours for light stripes.
The edges of the scarf are diagonal and for extra effect I dropped few stitches to create long vertical lines.

Feel free to variate this patter by using any of your own favorite colours, making as many horisontal and vertical stripes as you wish and maybe also change the length and the width of the scarf!
The scarf is very flexible so the measurements will change in use anyway.

For my pattern you need three balls of main colour Soft wool tweed deep red (= 405m) and contrast colours Drops alpaca unicolour yellow and green, 17m both colours.

Keep warm!
