Joy of Color Scarf
Our new bundle of Linen Quill Minis is a glorious confluence of natural fibers, gorgeous colors, and all the creativity and beauty they inspire. Forty 25-gram balls of Linen Quill, each bundle of Minis is an invitation to the most vibrant places in your imagination, and our free and simple Joy of Color Scarf knitting pattern takes you there!
You knit the Joy Of Color Scarf holding two different yarn colors together, swapping out one at a time to create smooth transitions and a spectacular array of complex colors.
The pattern itself could not be any simpler, just casting on and knitting in the round. The true joy is in watching as each marled color melds into the next one, from a golden pink to a bronzes lime to a verdant orange and on and on!
And as always, you will love the experience of knitting Linen Quill’s wonderful mix of 50% fine highland wool, 35% alpaca, and 15% linen. Each strand of this yarn has a richness that comes from the three fibers contributing in their own way to its character.
The wool adds bounce and durability and vibrant color, the alpaca softness and luster, and the linen, with its lighter fibers that tend to sprout from the yarn, adds an abundance of natural charm and beauty!
Our Linen Quill Minis make a spectacular gift for any crafter, or cast on for your own Joy Of Color Scarf and be transported to a breathtaking world of color!
Yarn lovers, if you adore the yarn used in this project, you’ll love exploring all of our other yarn collections!

Only available here at Purl Soho’s online yarn store, where every skein is created with care and your creativity in mind!

NOTES
KEEPING TRACK OF COLORS
With 40 colors of Linen Quill in this bundle, you have to keep organized! We recommend sorting your colors into bags of similar shades (reds, blues, greens, yellows, etc) to make them easier to find. If you lose any labels, be sure to consult the Color Guide included with your bundle!
WEAVING IN TAILS AS YOU GO
To avoid weaving in a whole lot of ends when you’re finished knitting, follow these instructions for weaving in tails as you go. Note that you will always be knitting with two different color yarns, and every time you change colors, you will cut one yarn, then add a new yarn to the remaining yarn, creating a new color combo. Here’s how we recommend taking care of all those tails…
Join the new color, leaving a 1½ to 2-inch tail on the purl side of the work. Knit the first 4 stitches of the round holding both the new and old colors together (i.e. three strands of yarn). Cut the old color, leaving a 1½ to 2-inch tail on the purl side of the work, and continue on with just the two strands of the new color combo.
Don’t worry, all those little tails you’re leaving will stay secure and will be hidden on the inside of your scarf! (Or, feel free to change colors as you normally would, just be prepared for many tails to weave in!)
PATTERN
NOTE: Throughout this pattern you will hold two colors of yarn as you work. We have named each color combination Color 1–39; see Color Order, below, for the full list of color combinations.
With Color 1 (see Color Order, below), cast on 67 (95) stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.
Place marker and join for working in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.
Knit 16 rounds, or until piece measures approximately 2¾ inches from cast-on edge, unrolled.
*Color Change Round: With Color 2 and weaving in tails as you go (see Notes), knit to end of round.
Knit 11 more rounds, or until Color 2 section measures 2 inches.
Repeat from * with Colors 3–39, working 16 total rounds of Color 39 (instead of 12). [Piece measures approximately 79 inches from cast-on edge, unrolled]
Bind-Off Round: With Color 39, bind off loosely knitwise.
Cut yarns and weave in remaining cast-on and bind-off tails.
Gently wet block, allowing edges to roll up.
