Ok - here's a pattern for a scarf I've just knitted for my daughter - photo to follow!

I used 200g of rainbow effect bobbly yarn using 7mm needles but the pattern can be adapted to any yarn - you'll just need to adapt the number of stitches according to the width you need. It knits as a diagonal scarf and if knitted in a standard yarn with have a pattern to it - it'll show up better than it will on the one I made too! I did the pattern on this one to stop me getting bored :-). My scarf ended up being 6ft long!

Cast on 35 sts on 7mm needles

work 6 rows garter st

row 1: k2tog, k to last st inc1
row 2: p

repeat these 2 rows 3 times all together (6 rows)

row7: k2tog k to end, inc 1
row 8 k

repeat these 2 rows, 3 times altogether (6 rows)

row 13: k, wrapping yarn round needle twice to end
row 14: k, slipping extra loop off

rows 15 - 20 as for rows 7 & 8

repeat from row 1 until all your yarn is used up or you reach the desired length.

It would be good if anyone wanted to share a picture of their finished scarf :-)
