PATTERN
Cast On Using colour A, cast on 38 stitches. Scarf If using the Duets yarn, set aside the two \*heel' skeins - they will be used later. Begin working ripple pattern and after completing one repeat, change to colour B and work one repeat. Continue to work in this manner, alternating your colours after each row repeat. When both skeins are just about used up, or once the desired finished length is reached, and after a fourth row, cast off all stitches loosely.
FINISHING
From the heel skeins that are left, make tassels that are approximately 4" long. Make several in the two different colours or, combine the colours if desired, for a variegated effect. Attach the tassels to each end of the scarf, alternating the colours. Weave in any ends that do not blend into the tassels and, block if desired Enjoy!
