A local knit guild put a call out for patterns to insert into their goody bags for the local
Stitch n’ Pitch, and I thought what would be more perfect than a scarf featuring
baseballs and bats. Done in a wool and plant fiber blend it is meant to be a nice and
airy accessory for whatever weather you might encounter at your local Stitch n’ Pitch.

cut the old color yarn. Repeat for every color change.
