Blue bamboo scarf knitting pattern

Today was a cozy, rainy day, and I spent it curled up on the couch with a cat in my lap, knitting and watching movies. This scarf was the perfect project for today-- mindless enough that I could keep an eye on my movies, but not mindless enough to be boring.

It's knit with Berroco Bonsai, which is 97% bamboo and 3% nylon, on size US 7 needles. It has a bit of a shine to it and sort of glistens. The pattern is a classic called feather and fan.

To knit the scarf:

1) Cast on 24 stitches.

2) Knit three rows in garter stitch.

3) Work the pattern repeat until the scarf reaches the desired length, ending with row 4:

Row 1: Knit.
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: *K2TOG twice, (YO, K1) four times, K2TOG twice*
Row 4: Knit

4) Knit three rows in garter stitch.

5) Bind off.

Hello out there! I decided to try your scarf pattern and so far I love it! I'm not much of a knitter and my yarn isn't nearly as nice as what you're using (just something left over from a sweater I started to knit a decade ago), but the pattern is very pretty and it's coming along nicely.
I will link to your blog on my next post (probably tomorrow or Wednesday) and let my 4 faithful readers know to visit you over here.
Thanks for posting this pattern.
