Seventh Heaven
What knitter does not have a box or bag filled with small quantities of fingering-weight yarn? Seventh Heaven answers the question of what to do with them – knit them up into a beautiful scarf! With its combination of garter ridges and slip stitches, Seventh Heaven is simple yet fun to knit. The colourful I-cord edges make it even more special.

Bonus
The pattern includes lots of tips for choosing and using your own yarns and colours.
The pattern now also includes and addendum for a smaller version.
