Knitting is my favorite pastime.  The best patterns I use are quick and prefect for starting on a Friday and wearing by Monday.

 For this easy, breezy scarf pattern you will need a basic knowledge of casting on and off and the knit stitch.  You will also need size 15 (10mm) straight knitting needles and about 2 oz(60grams) of your favorite fluffy worsted(light aran).

 I like a fringe, so I cut 28 pieces of 20" lengths to set aside for fringe.

  Cast on 14 stitches and knit 4 rows.  Next row wind yarn around needle not once, but 3 times, then knit like normal.  Contine across row.  You now have 42 loops on your needle.  The next row you knit into 1 loop and drop the other two, making a long drop stitch. 

 Continue down to the end, now you have 14 stitches again.

Knit 4 more rows, then the two drop stitch rows.  Continue in this fashion, using up all your yarn.

Cast off after the 4 knit rows.  Add fringe if desired.
