This using tunisian stitching, and this particular stitch is the Simple Stitch. Here is a good reference to how to do the tunisian simple stitch, and an overall excellent website in tutorials in many types of tunisian stitching: Tunisian Stitching
Base Row (+ return row): http://www.stitchdiva.com/custom.aspx?id=41
Yarn: I used worsted weight yarn from Vanna's Choice (the purple color "eggplant") and from Impeccables (yellow color "butterscotch")
Size Hook: I used J, and worked it loosely. Tunisian stitching I learned should be done loosely anyway!
"tss" = Tunisian Simple Stitch
ch 31
forward row 1: base row (see above)
reverse row 1: return row
forward row 2: tss each stitch
reverse row 2: return row
repeat f/r row 1 and 2 until you are satisfied with the square for the first color. In my case, I stopped at 25 rows. You can make this more or less for your preferred look.
When changing colors, you change colors ON THE RETURN ROW.
Very cool scarf. Love the idea of the school/team colors too!
