You can make it in four different sizes, using two strands of yarn of different colors to create contrast or sing the same color to obtain a solid color. Is worked in ribbed stitch and so is really easy for any new or experienced knitter to finish.
Also, because is rather a short scarf, it can be finished in one day (or less).
I made the Medium size for myself, and as you can see, it doubles as a cute poncho for a Toddler!

I am curious as to how you made the brown yarn “curly.” I love the pattern, but especially the contrast of the fringe.
The reason why the brown yarn is curly is because is previously used yarn. I was working on designing another pattern that went wrong, so I unmade all the stitches and rolled my yarn into a ball and then used it again to make this design. Because the yarn was knitted with, then became curly.
If you want to make it curly, you could crochet just come chain stitches, let it alone for a couple of days for the curls to set, unravel them and then use them.
I really like how this looks. I will be trying it out myself!
Can you give an estimate of the amount of yarn required? Thanks.
With 200 yards for each color you should have enough. Less if you decide to skip the fringe on the edge
