Finishing
Neck Edging: With RS facing, and smaller hook, join MC with a sl st between any 2 sts of foundation row.

Rnd 1: Ch 1, making sure that work lies flat, sc evenly around entire edge. Join rnd with a sl st in first sc. Fasten off. Point Edging: Note: Work edging around each point with the same color as the point. With RS facing and smaller hook, join yarn with a sl st in top right corner, ch 1, then work in sc around entire point to top left corner. Fasten off. Fringe: Cut four 15" long strands of MC. Put 4 strands tog and fold in half. With WS of bottom edge facing and using larger hook, draw center of strands through first st, forming a lp. Pull 4 ends of fringe through this lp. Pull to tighten. In this manner, make fringe in every other st along bottom edge of poncho. Trim fringe to even off, if necessary. Note: For speedier cutting, wrap yarn multiple times around a piece of cardboard that is desired length of the fringe. Cut the lower edge to free wrapped strands.

Introduction: One of the ?tricks" of knitting scarves is that it's faster to knit 50 rows of a 324 st scarf

than it is to knit 324 rows of a 50 st scarf. [Or is this just my preference?] So I gathered a tonal collection of lovely Kid Merino colors based around one favorite ? Cocoa Blues'. Don't forget to include a mix of colors, both lighter and darker! Abbreviations: CO: cast on; dec: decrease; K: knit; K2tog: knit 2 sts together; P: purl; rem: remain(ing); rep: repeat; st(s): stitch(es); St st: stockinette st, knit every round; rnd: round.

Materials:
Needles: #11 US 35" circular Crystal Palace Bamboo needle or size needed to obtain gauge. Gauge: with 2 strands Kid Merino held together, ~2.75-3 sts/in (11 sts/10 cm) on US #11 over St st See another colorway (feldspar)_of this Infinity Scarf here.

Yarn:
Crystal Palace Kid Merino, 1-50 g ball of each color desired (a minimum of 5 colors is suggested), all tonally based around one color. The model shown here is based around the print ? Cocoa Blues', so we also needed two of the colors in the print (blue and fudge brownie print), contrasts (natural & taupe mix print) and two coordinating but non-matching colors (pale green and sand). The use of several prints adds additional depth of tone and color. MC = 2001, cocoa blues; CC1 = 0204, natural; CC2 = 2014, fudge brownie; CC3 = 4681 misty blue; CC4 = 4102 sand; CC5 = 4670 fog green (or new 6008 mint cream); CC 6 = 9805 taupe mix

Size: scarf shown is 10 in wide by 50 in long (folded in half) - this means it will easily loop and drape
prettily around your neck 3 times or more!

Designer's notes:
1. The scarf is worked using 2 strands of Kid Merino - 2 strands of same color or 1 strand two different colors. Shifting colors 1 strand at a time provides a lovely soft tonal progression. 2. Stitch pattern used is ? Variety Rib': K1 rnd, P1 rnd, K2P2 1 rnd, P2K2 1 rnd, K4P4 1 rnd, & P4K4 1 rnd. Change the st used every rnd randomly to provide textural and tonal variation. Remember that colors appear different in tone when viewed as P vs. K, so utilize this property to your advantage. 3. The exact color progression used for model is listed here; note that the MC, Cocoa Blues, was used the most in the scarf and thus very little left of full ball. Other yarns had sufficient leftovers to make another scarf, or hat ... A hint: if you add a color and don't care for how it looks, don't rip it out! Just make it a single row, and later you will discover your ? non-favorite' color has added a nice line of contrast.
