Marimekko scarf

I have finished a scarf that I've been having on my list for a long time, ever since I saw it a couple of years ago on another knitting blog. I bought the pattern and put it neatly into my file of patterns, where it stayed untill I happened to chance upon it the other day while I was looking for something else.

I followed my recent decision about sticking to earthy, natural colours when I bought the yarn.

Making this scarf involves weaving in a lot of ends,

 but the construction of the scarf ensures that it's fun to make, as you build it up stripe by stripe.

A fun and fairly quick knit!
