Ticker is the third pattern released from a collection of patterns in an ebook called Bias Blitz Knitz that I have published on Ravelry.
Biaz Blitz Knits is an ebook featuring 4 wrap patterns, each knit mostly in garter on the bias. The idea for the ebook began as I was designing “Swooper” the first scarf pattern in this collection. By the time I finished knitting the scarf, I knew there were more to come and Sailer, Ticker and Checker evolved. To give visual interest, I have added knit stitch variations like the elongated stitch in between garter bands which also help add length while keeping the width short and also shape the first 3 wraps. Checker is worked only in garter. None of the patterns use short rows or purling.

Ticker is a skinny scarf worked as two halves in one piece using only knit sts. The 1st is worked as garter stitch bands alternating with mesh bands to give the scarf an hourglass shape.
The 2nd half of scarf is worked only as garter sts, knit on the bias.
I have a small video clip for the pattern that I could email you.
