You start knitting from one end of the scarf, soothing garter stitch alternates with the stockinette stripes, lace and eyelets. After using three of the contrasting colors, the stitches are left on hold. The second piece is knit in the same way until all the contrasting colors have been used. A three-needle bind off joins the pieces.
Wrap this scarf around your neck and let the light brighten your day.

My original inspiration was the sea, and the reflections of the sunrays in the water. My sample represents those colors. Having enough light is essential, and I deeply enjoy seeing all the different colors the light creates in the sea, and the sky when the sun sets and paints all the view with pinks and oranges.
