When all yarn is used you should have a 60” scarf after blocking if all yarn is used. This basic Slip Stitch Pattern can be used for any yarn with needle size adjustment appropriate to type of yarn used.

Smooth yarns show the stitch pattern better but yarns with a little more texture would add interest and the color change will still show.
