Notes regarding gauge: It’s important, and helpful, to knit a swatch before starting any project. Your swatch will ensure accuracy in the final fit, especially when substituting a yarn. Regardless of the needle size indicated in the pattern, use whatever size gives you the stated gauge for the project. The yarn band gauge suggests a yarn will work to a certain number of stitches, however, your gauge will vary according to tension, needle size, yarn, and stitches used.

I sprayed the scarf with tepid water, placed on the ironing board and used an ironing cloth or a cloth you have on hand (very important) over the scarf and lightly ironed over the scarf with a low heat to prevent felting. After ironing, I placed it flat on a towel to dry completely where it would be undisturbed. You can also use a rust proof pin and lay flat on a blocking mat, board or towel and dry overnight if you don't feel comfortable using an iron.

this a beautiful yet warm, fashionable awesome scarf!
I can't even get through the first row. The second row won't look like ribbing of K2,P2.
Help.
LOVE the looks of this scarf/pattern. I'll definitely make one. Thanks
I just have a Question about the ribbing rows at the beginning of the pattern. It says Row 1 k2, p2 across row and knit the last stitch, p1.
My question is...How can you knit the last stitch and then P1 ?
Your scarf looks so warm and soft.
Thanks so much for this patten. I will enjoy knitting this, thanks again.
It definetly looks warm and will make a great gift.

Thank you for your suggestion. I try to keep the pattern pages to a minimum depending on the difficulty. There have been numerous requests for more tips and info for this pattern so I have included them here for beginning knitters. Many of my patterns have a resource section on the last page. If you don't need the info while you're knitting, by all means, feel free to only print the pattern portion whenever possible.
A big thanks to Shellie of Craftbits.com for taking time away from her busy schedule to update this pattern page.
Thank you for taking a moment to comment and for your enthusiasm, I appreciate your feedback.
Happy holiday knitting!

Five stars because its a beautiful scarf. I have not knitted one yet. Thank you for sharing the pattern. Would like to say though that it is too many pages to print so I will have to hand copy the pattern. Could you condense the pattern into printable form? Oops-I see below you have referenced one. But for future patterns.....Thanks again.
ARE YOU SURE ROW THREE IS CORRECT IN THE PATTERN... SHOULD IT NOT BE
K1,P1,*K5,P3,K5,REPEAT FROM *,LAST TWO STITCHES, K1, P1
