This scarf is made extra-wide and then folded over and sewn up to make a double layer of fabric for extra coziness. Plus, this way the pattern shows on both sides.
Materials:
2 skeins white Bernat Berella
I think this scarf would look absolutely lovely in a beautiful mohair or soft alpaca yarn, but, alas, I just can't tolerate wool. I only use it when I find a fabulous pattern or yarn that makes the itchiness and little red bumps worthwhile.
On the bright side, my grandma gave me 60 skeins of off-white Bernat Berella (thanks grandma!), so I'll use that instead.

A close-up of the pattern pre-finishing.
Finishing:
Leave and extra long tail of yarn when you bind off. Fold the scarf over and use the tail to seam up the sides.
Add four tassels on each end. You know how to make tassels right? If you don't, here's an explanation.

In a small sort of way, you are my hero.
Very nice. AHR
The link to make tassels does not lead to any information on the subject that I could find.
Sorry about that. They must have taken down the page. There's a new link now.
Nice pattern, was looking for something different and with a little challenge. Thanks so much.
Love it!! Am looking for something to make for a friend, and this is a perfect project for the blizzard we just had in Ohio :)
I finished it last night after 5 months of knitting, and I have to say, it looks stunning. My boyfriend is going to love it! Especially since he doesn't like being cold. :)
