This pattern can be made at any desired length, which makes the size perfect for anyone.

This pattern also uses constant color changes that require you to carry a previous yarn color through to the next stitch (carried under and behind while the current stitch is being worked over the top to hide the yarn being carried over).

Included in the pattern is a Graph of the design for those who wish or prefer to work off of a graph instead of written instructions (or for those who would like to use both).

This pattern is also great to make a plaid design scarf in any colors, not just red and green for Christmas. Feel free to pick and choose your favorite two color combinations!

There is now a free matching beanie to finish out this scarf as a hat and scarf set. Don’t forget to check it out in my Ravelry store. It is called, “Santa’s Plaid Hat”.
