This is a pattern for a scarf that stays nicely put around one’s neck, as there is a gap on one side to weave in the other end of the scarf. You will need two skeins of the suggested yarn, although you will have roughly half a skein left when you are done knitting.

The pattern calls for a provisional cast on--both ends of the scarf of grafted together (at the back of the neck). The knitter can, however, choose to do a conventional cast on and then sew the ends together.
