This is a scarf I'm knitting for a friend. She loves purple. And, since she's always cold, she'll still be able to use this skinny little scarf for a couple months.

I found the pattern here. But, it's broken. The instructions are as follows:

CO 72 sts
Row 1: Knit
Row 2: K2tog to the end of row. 36 sts remain.
Row 3: P2tog to end of row. 18 sts remain.
Row 4: *K2, P2*, *Repeat to end of row.
Repeat Row 4 until scarf is 3 inches from desired length.
Row 5: *P Inc*, repeat to end of row-36 sts.
Row 6: *K Inc*, repeat to end of row-72sts.
Row 7: Knit.
BO and weave in ends.

However, if you with 18 stitches, you'll end with K2, when you should end with P2. So, following is my modified instructions:

CO 64 sts
Row 1: Knit
Row 2: K2tog to the end of row. 32 sts remain.
Row 3: P2tog to end of row. 16 sts remain.
Row 4: *K2, P2*, *Repeat to end of row.
Repeat Row 4 until scarf is 3 inches from desired length.
Row 5: *P Inc*, repeat to end of row - 32 sts.
Row 6: *K Inc*, repeat to end of row - 64 sts.
Row 7: Knit.
BO and weave in ends.
