Blocks of color stacked on top of each other form the intriguing Tower of Colors Scarf.

Beginning at the narrow edge, the scarf is knit in two halves, which are then grafted together at center. The stitch pattern includes simple cables, seed, stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches, which make for an easy, yet interesting knit. The pattern follows a logical progression, but it’s not quite mindless knitting, as you do need to keep track of which row you are working on. Garter stitch borders make for an all-around clean finish.

Generously sized in length and width, this design can be worn by everyone. Color choices can make it look feminine, masculine or gender neutral. The halves do not have to be identical—mix up the order of colors or go wild and stash bust by using a different color for each block. It’s up to you!
