I made this scarf with two skeins; cast on a total of sixty stitches and I used stitch markers for each 12 stitch repeat which was very helpful. This is such an easy pattern to do that it can become a bit boring. I added Just a Leaf (pattern link above) to the bottom of the scarf. This idea was taken from another Ravelry member Rosenband http://www.ravelry.com/projects/rosenband/zickzack-scarf-2
