**Create Your Own Stylish Diagonal Stripe Scarf: A Versatile Knitting Pattern**
Are you ready to craft a one-of-a-kind accessory that showcases your personal style? Our unique diagonal stripe scarf knitting pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels and can be customized to feature your favorite school colors! With two sizes available— a wide 12" scarf or shawl and a narrower 8" scarf— this pattern is both functional and fashionable, making it an excellent choice for gifts or personal use.
This scarf is knit using the innovative strip knitting (modular) technique. This approach allows you to attach the currently worked strip to the main body of the project at the end of each right side (RS) row. This not only eliminates the need for sewing but also ensures that the corresponding rows of each strip remain perfectly aligned for a neat finish.
**Yarn Requirements:**
- **Narrow Scarf:** Requires 600 yards of worsted yarn. For a two-color scarf, you will need 300 yards of each color. If you're creating a three-color scarf, gather 200 yards of each color.
- **Wide Scarf:** Requires 900 yards of worsted yarn. For a two-color scarf, you will need 450 yards of each color. For a three-color scarf, you'll need 300 yards of each color.

To start your knitting adventure, you’ll need the following supplies:
- US size 8 knitting needles
