Spiral Design Tube Scarf - Round Loom

The other day I decided to make a scarf, but wanted to give it a spiral look.   After searching online I was unable to find an existing pattern to make a spiral stripe using the Knifty Knitter Looms.  I found several patterns that would allow me to do solid vertical stripes, but this was not what I was looking for.  After giving it some though I came up with this design.
