Another Stash Busting pattern!

There are two ‘mystic’ bits about this scarf. One is how the appearance and intensity and color shadings of the main color change depending on which yarn it is paired with. The background color I chose is a light turquoise. If it is paired with a light blue, it appears a deeper teal, if it is paired with a green, it looks very blue. Each color changes the quality of the main color, producing a visual illusion of even more shades of color than I used. The second mystic bit is how this seemingly narrow scarf can expand to double its width and cover your ears and face when the weather turns cold, due to the ribbing.
