Here's yet another Spontaneous Scarf - this one done in various Easter egg dyed yarns and made narrow for my best friend's daughter who wears a lot of scarves. To make a Spontaneous Scarf (from a recent issue of Spin-Off), simply cast on as many stitches as you want it long, then seed stitch each row with a different yarn and leave about 8" of yarn tails on each edge for fringe. This is a nice frugal method of knitting - you can use up all those extra pieces of fancy yarns or weirdly handspun or dyed stuff in your scarf creations. You can use any weight yarn (although I do double lace weight) and a larger (7 US & up) needle.
Here's the inside of the tam - I think I like the colors better inside because the darker colors predominate.
