<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It may seem a bit intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of the rainbow tail pattern, it becomes almost second nature. Chris Torres is the creator of the meme and all rights for such go to him for making, in my opinion, the cutest food-animal crossbreed on the internet today. This pattern is my take on the adorable mutant in scarf form. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you are not familiar with it, practicing a couple times on a smaller scale will help you understand the madness! Chain 419 (or any multiple of 11, add 1) of red. 419 gives about a 6 foot scarf. SC 5, SC 3 in 1 stitch, SC 5, skip two. Repeat until you get to the end of your chain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
