Replacement Scarf

I really, really honestly thought that I had uploaded the pattern to my replacement scarf, but I guess that I never really got around to it since the new quarter started and there were a few doubts in my mind about the goodness of the project. But since I have actually come a long way on this project, it really would be such a shame to frog it, especially since people have told me that it is rather cute. Nevermind that it is spring in Davis now and I really have no particular need for it, but remember, boys and girls, winter comes again every year.

I'm using the left over yarn from other projects, so to be honest, I'm not really 100% sure about the yarn requirements, but this is just a guess.

Materials:
- 5 US 7 dpn
- 2 balls Patons Classic Merino Wool: Winter White (A)
- 2 balls Plymouth Encore Worsted Weight Yarn: Navy Blue (B)
- 2 balls Ella Rae Worsted Weight Yarn: Red (I'll look it up later) (C)
- Yarn needle
- Crochet Hook

Directions: (Realizing that I nearly typed in "Procedure" like in a chemistry lab report make me a little sad inside)

1. In C, CO 48 stitches and divide evenly between 4 needles (12 sts per needle). pm.
2. Join round.
3. Work striping pattern until you get so sick and tired of it you want to set it on fire, or work until length desired.
4. BO and weave in ends. To be honest, I just let the ones in the middle dangle.
5. Make and attach fringe using the crochet hook.

4 Rounds B
8 Rounds A
24 Rounds C
8 Rounds A
4 Rounds C

The End!

It's very basic and it's just a replacement for the other scarf that I made that randomly disappeared. I am very distraught over its loss, but it happens sometimes. C'est la vie. Still think that la vie is super unfair though...
