Worked in one piece in 12 colors, this throw is the perfect beginner's throw, or a great mindless project for experienced knitters. Practice your Garter Stitch, while adding interest with occasional rows of eyelets. Or, easily adapt the pattern to a scarf, by casting on 31 stitches (or any odd number), then working the pattern as written.
