Pattern Notes:
Cast on 11 sts
Knit every row
Color changes are worked into next row.  Cut a tail about 3" long and twist into the stitches while knitting.
All color changes must be on the same edge (right in this case); otherwise it won't look "clean" on the display side.
Bind off when entire roll of eyelash yarn is almost used up.
Weave in last tail.

Comments:
This scarf is wonderfully soft and eye-catching as well!  The color combinations are endless.  A rainbow colored scarf would be lovely.  Cost of this scarf is quite affordable (half a skein of chenille is $2.50 and eyelash yarn on sale is about $3.00 for a total around $5).  It knits up VERY quickly as well...great for last minute gifts.
