Looking for an easy project for vacation? Look no more. This pattern is easy to memorize and easy to pick up your spot after a break from knitting. If you want a shorter scarf, knit fewer repeats. Want wider? Add more stitches in multiples of two. Gauge is not that important but will affect size and yardage if different. The suggested gauge makes for a nice lightweight scarf with lots of drape. The bamboo yarn makes for a cool project for the hands and lap while knitting and the neck when worn. Sounds like a good project for a road trip. Enjoy!
