An any season scarf knit in the shape of a lightning bolt. Combining neon yarn with a speckled color can have a shocking result. If you do not want to hold 2 yarns together, substitute with a DK or Sport weight yarn for a single stranded version, or even double up on a fingering weight yarn for a heavy weight, warmer winter scarf.

Yarn: 2 skeins Madelinetosh Prairie, 840 yards (768 m) Shown in colors Optic and Edison Bulb held at once.
Substitute with one strand of DK weight yarn (800 yards)

Needles: Size 8 (5mm) 32˝ circular needles, or size needed to obtain drapey fabric.

Gauge: 20 sts and 34 rows in garter stitch = 4 x 4˝ (10 x 10 cm) square.
