If you like the ripple stitch pattern but don’t want to commit to an afghan, try working it up in a scarf instead.

This version is a four-color combo, in a colorway that isn’t often seen together. The tricks are picking skeins with hues that complement—but don’t overpower—each other, and blending. No variegated yarns were harmed making this piece.

Gauge is snug so that the edges hold their shape when the finished scarf is worn.
