Cheri's Checkboard Scarf

I knit this scarf using Datura Fiber Arts Superwash Merino Wool in this lovely pumpkin color. So soft and yummy!!! I used a size 7 needle and got about 4.5 stitches to the inch.

Cast on 36 stitches. Knit 6 rows.

Next row: Knit 9, purl 6, knit 6, purl 6, knit 9.
Next row: Knit 3, purl 6, knit 6, purl 6, knit 6, purl 6, knit 3.
Repeat last 2 rows 3 more times.

Next row: Knit 3, purl 6, knit 6, purl 6, knit 6, purl 6, knit 3.
Next row: Knit 9, purl 6, knit 6, purl 6, knit 9.
Repeat last 2 rows 3 more times.

Repeat the last 16 rows to desired length of scarf. Knit 6 rows. Bind off.

Ta-Da!
