Steps
Cast on 32 stitches loosely. Any even number works, but 32 gives a scarf about 7 to 8 inches wide.
Knit every stitch across the first row. This is the knit row of the repeat.
Purl every stitch across the second row.
Knit 1, purl 1 and repeat that pair to the end of the third row.
Purl 1, knit 1 and repeat that pair to the end of the fourth row.
Repeat these four rows until the scarf measures about 60 to 70 inches, or your preferred length.
Bind off loosely in pattern on a row 4, working each stitch as it appears.
Cut the yarn, pull the tail through the last loop and tighten. Weave in all loose ends with the tapestry needle.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep your cast on and bind off loose so the scarf edges do not pull in.
Count your stitches every few rows to catch dropped or added stitches early.
Use the same yarn weight and needle size as listed, or the width and texture will change.
Let variegated yarn do the color work and avoid mixing in a second busy yarn.
Questions
Do I need to know how to purl?
Yes. The pattern uses purl rows and knit and purl combinations, so learn the basic purl stitch first.
How much yarn does the scarf use?
It depends on your yarn and length. Buy two to three skeins of bulky yarn and check the yardage on the label before starting.
Can I make the scarf wider or narrower?
Yes. Cast on any even number of stitches. More stitches make it wider, fewer make it narrower.
