Green Rainbow

Another scarf done! This one is a commission for Jess - apparently her boss keeps trying to steal the scarf I made her, so she gets one of her own. Thus does villainy flourish! I wasn't fond of the colorway as I was working it - the green kept coming back and back and back and I was tired of it, and there were a lot of sections where the stripes were nigh-indistinguishable - but I think it looks fine now that it's finished. The purple rainbow was a lot more dramatic, though.

It's a ridiculously easy pattern - k1 p1 ribbing over 50 stitches, alternate yarn every 2 rows, and let the yarn do all the color work, while the ribbing makes it reversible and fluffy.

k1p1 rib is my default pattern for scarves. It's reversible and looks like what a scarf ought to look like.

Gotta give the alternating yarn colors a try sometime!
