Materials:
I used Caron Simply Soft in Gray Heather, but you can use whatever you want as long as it's worsted weight or something close.
Needles: US 8 (5 mm). If you want an "airy" scarf use bigger needles, and if you want a "tighter" scarf use smaller needles. Size US 8 is right in the middle!
Gauge (this isn't really important to the pattern): 8 sts = 5 cm (2 inches).
Note: This will make an (unblocked) width of about 13 cm (about 5 inches). To increase the width: add 4 or more stitches, dividable with 4. The scarf is very stretchy, but you could use a bigger/smaller needle size, thicker/thinner yarn or adjust the stitch count to get a different size.
K= knit
K2tog= knit 2 stitches together
YO= Yarn over
Sts= stitches
Pattern:
Cast on 24 sts (or any number of stiches dividable with 4).
Knit 2 rows.
Row 1-16: K4, *YO, K2tog, K2 repeat at * till end of the row.
Row 17-24: Kint.
Repeat the pattern row until your scarf is at desired length.
Finishing:
Knit 2 rows.
Cast off loosely.
Weave in ends.
Block if you want to.
