Go Team Scarf

When I went back to Texas for Thanksgiving to visit my family, in one of my more lucid non-sick moments, I started talking to my aunt about crafting.  Somewhere in the process of the conversation, I let her know that I had recently learned how to knit.  She excitedly asked me if I could make her a hat and scarf in her twins' high school colours so that she can wear it to football games next year in support of the Color Guard.  My cousins, also, asked me to make hats and scarves for them as well.

Their school colours are purple and gold, however, this can be made with any two colours.  Here is the first of the three scarves (although the last one will be orange and turquoise rather than purple and gold):
