One ball of Red Heart Bitty Stripes does the trick for this 92" long crochet scarf that took Mikey a couple of days to crochet in front of the TV binge watching crap on TV. Easy four-row repeating pattern.
This colour is called Sunset, and he wondered how the colours would work itself out. Being the woven stitch, the colours phase in and out and with the look, the colour separations on the ball aren't so hard lined.
