This wonderfully warm and cozy Pocket Scarf is very easy to knit in any yarn you like. It is knit in two halves and grafted together in the center (the part that will be on the back of your neck). Once the knitted bit is finished and you grafted the two halves together, you will PIMP your Pocket Scarf with embroidery. I advise using a solid colored yarn to knit the Pocket Scarf with and a variegated yarn to pimp your Pocket Scarf in any color you like. I used a slightly thicker yarn to PIMP the scarf in order for the embroidery to lay on top of the knitted stitches. As to the size of the Pocket Scarf. You can adjust the size very simple to the desired width and length by adjusting the amount of pattern repeats both in width and length of the project.

I advise you to always knit a swatch in order to calculate the desired pattern repeats.
