Add a joyful burst of colour to your wardrobe with the Wibbly-Wobbly Scarf. Inspired by Koigu Yarn’s Painter’s Palette and Paint Can mini-skein sets, this adaptable design invites you to experiment, mix, and play with colour. Knit it in a narrow five-colour or wide ten-colour version, or adapt the pattern to suit your mini-skein stash with a six, twelve or twenty-four colour set and create something uniquely yours. Another option is the scrappy version where colours are changed more frequently for a striped effect. The scarf is knit width-wise with tapered edges.

The pattern includes both charted and written instructions and a video tutorial for a never run out of yarn long tail cast on.
