Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in coral, mint, and cream
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the elasticity of your scarf.
2. Create the Border: Work in garter stitch for 6 rows. To do this, knit every row. This will create a neat border at both ends of your scarf.
3. Begin the Main Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): *K4, P2, K2, P2, K4; repeat from * across the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P4, K2, P2, K2, P4; repeat from * across the row.
   • Row 3: *K2, P2, K4, P2, K2, P2; repeat from * across the row.
   • Row 4: *P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, K2; repeat from * across the row.
4. Repeat the Pattern: Continue repeating Rows 1-4 until the scarf measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to end with Row 4 to maintain the pattern consistency.
5. Finish with the Border: After reaching the desired length, work 6 more rows in garter stitch (knit every row) to create a border at the other end of the scarf.
6. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge of your scarf is not too tight. This will help maintain the scarf's flexibility.
7. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your scarf a clean finish.
8. Block the Scarf: Gently block your scarf to shape it. This can be done by wetting the scarf and laying it flat to dry, adjusting the edges to your desired shape.
