Tutorial: Missoni Inspired Scarf in Blue

As promised yesterday, here is the tutorial for this scarf. Feel free to make it as long or short as you like. You could also add a few inches of straight stockinette stitch to more closely match the original. The pattern is written out below. You can also save the pattern a favourite and update your progress on Ravelry!

Tencel irons nicely, so I used a steamy iron to block out my scarf. I can never be bothered to used pins or anything; eye it. Just be careful not to squash out the texture. I wouldn't recommend a steamy iron if you've used wool.
