Pattern Instructions
This pattern is written in U.K. terms
Let’s start
cast on 25 stitches using 10mm knitting needles in your first colour, I’ve used Turquoise. I use a cast on method called cable cast on, but you can use which ever you find easier.
Knit the first row and every following row in Turquoise until a small amount remains. Join the second colour at the cast on edge, tie the previous and new colour in a loose knot, you will tidy and sew in the ends later. Your first colour block should measure approximately 45cm.
Knit each row until a small amount of yarn remains and join your third colour as before joining at the cast on edge.
Continue to knit each row and add each of the five colours.
For the last colour block (colour 5) make sure you save enough yarn at the end to cast of in knit stitch. As a general rule if you have about double the length of your scarf remaining in yarn, cast off so that you have enough to sew in the ends.
