Here's a scarf I made in three different colors last year:
This is Baby Alpaca Grande yarn, very soft.
Baby Alpaca Grande 110 yds $15
I find it a bit itchy, but not much. I live in a generally hot climate, so I only wear on the coldest days.
This one is a little more complicated to do and the yarn is expensive. I used only one skein for each scarf.
Level of difficulty: Moderate to difficult
For an accomplished knitter, this is easy; for a new knitter, watch out for the row counts. Once the pattern is established it is easy to see.
Finished length ~ 4.5 X 60 inches
Cast on 16 st size 15 needles
No fringe.
Pattern is as follows:
K2, P4, K4, P4, K2
Reverse pattern is:
K2, K4, P4, K4, K2
Keeping the K2 along the edge all the time (this keeps the edge straight and it doesn't curl)(except slip the first stitch in knit direction for each row after the first row -- this keeps it smooth along the edge), work 4 rows and reverse the pattern; work 4 rows and reverse the pattern.
In other words, for the checkerboard pattern, you K over K and you P over P, then you reverse and do K over P and P over K (for the first row, then the next row is as the beginning, K over K and P over P), it reverses the stitch and makes it look like a checker board.
Bind off loosely.
