Alliteration

All of my mitten knitting (72 pairs and counting) has left me with lots of bits and bobs of fingering weight yarn.  Having already crocheted a scrappy granny afghan this year, I cast about for other projects.  Hipknitizer's Fiddly Bits cowl caught my eye.  I loved the fabric, but could not stomach the thought of 90 stitches of Kitchener.  So, I created my own variation - a scarf.  It is still a hollow tube, the better to hide all those yarn ends, my dear.  I worked the two ends in a semi-solid yarn to tie it together, but, again, left them open with the idea that if one were mittenless, one could use the scarf like a muff to keep them warm.  

The other trick I used was to start with a provisional cast on.  As I worked, I drifted from wider stripes to narrower.  By working 2/3 and then working a ribbed band to finish, and them going back and working the other end in the opposite direction, I could make sure the two ends matched.  This is nice since the two ends are usually side-by-side when worn.

And the name?  What else would you call a simple, sock scrap, stockinette stitch scarf?
