You can make this scarf as long or short as you like. I only used 2 skeins of Red Heart Designer Sport Yarn (Latte and Ivory). You can vary the color and widths of the stripes. This pattern is very versatile and can be used for other items other than scarves (blankets, potholders, pillow cases, etc.)

Use a crochet hook appropriate for the yarn you choose to work this pattern with.

I include pictures explaining how I did the color change and stitching the piece together to make a circle.
