I'm making a scarf...

Question

I'm knitting a scarf and want to use four different colors. Can you bring three colors up the side of the scarf without it looking really weird?

Answer 1

This really depends on how thick your stripes are and if you are going to put a border on it. If your stripes are going to be REALLY thin or you are going to do something (like crochet a border) then you could get away with carrying the yarn up the side. But if the stripes are thick or you are not going to put a border on, you would end up with some tell-tale strings on one side that would not look the greatest...

My advice would be to cut the yarn and weave in the ends. It just may be worth the extra time in the end.

Good luck to you!
