This is a size small which makes a good size for a neck scarf. I made this in the middle of the COVID pandemic lockdown, so I needed a project that was fun, easy, interesting, colorful and just challenging to divert me, but not so challenging as to overwhelm. This was perfect, I finished it in less than 10 days, which is really fast for me. I was able to use up some yarn I had on hand that I didn't have enough of to make anything else with, but didn't really go with anything well enough to be used for colorwork in a sweater or larger project. All in all this was ideal, I liked it so much I'll make another reversing the MC and CC to use up the rest of the yarn! The scalloped border uses a third of the yarn for the project, or half the MC yarn. Once that's done, the knitting gets easier and easier as you keep decreasing. There is a good balance of plain stockinette with a little interest in the I-cord edge and the slipped stitch diagonal stripes to keep you awake.
