Mosaic Scarf

This scarf is one that I made as a Christmas present. I found a mosaic pattern, but then ended up doing my own thing for the middle of the scarf. Then when I went back to needing the pattern, I couldn't find it. So, I rewrote it. =)

If you make this scarf, or use any part of it, I would love to see a picture in the comments. Also, I do not claim to be perfect, so if you notice any mistakes or poorly worded instructions, please let me know! I am always open to feedback!

Mosaic Scarf

Materials:
2 colors of DK weight or light worsted weight yarn.
US#6 (4.0mm) straight needles
Darning needle
Gauge is not critical to this project

Stitches:Knit (k)
Purl (p)
Slip (k)
Yarn Over (yo)
Yarn Front (yf)
Yarn Back (yb)

Notes:
When slipping a stitch, always slip purl wise.
In mine, Color A is white and color B is Lavender. (I used Patons baby yarn)
When changing colors, do not cut the yarn until noted. Just bring up the yarn in later rows.
The scarf will curl in while knitting it, that is normal. Just make sure to block it when you are finished.
