This striped triangular scarf was inspired by a supposedly-four-color gradient pack that included two mini-skeins almost exactly the same color. It is worked entirely in garter-stitch, using only one color at a time.

For an easy mindless knit, simply follow the pattern exactly as written. Alternatively, the pattern can be customized for any weight or yardage by using the table provided to calculate when to switch between solid and striping sections.

Yarn requirements: four 100yd mini-skeins of fingering weight yarn in four different colors (400yds total), or two 100yd mini-skeins of the same color + two 100yd mini-skeins in two contrasting colors. Great for gradient packs or stashbusting!
