Materials:
1-2 skeins of any Red Heart bulky/super bulky yarn (Baby Clouds, Light & Lofty, Snuggle Bunny). Just about any brand of soft bulky/super bulky weight yarn will do for this pattern.
Size 11 (8.0 mm) 14” long straight needles
Special abbreviation: yo k2tog – It’s a basic yarn over stitch, except you knit 2 stitches together after wrapping the yarn around the needle.

Cast on 26 stitches

Repeat rows 1 & 2 until you reach desired length
End with Row 1 (k to the end)

You may or may not wish to add tassels to the ends of the scarf. If so, try using a contrasting color to make the scarf look really cool!
I hope you find this knitting pattern as fun to do as I did. Please let me know what you think by posting in the comments section below, along with ideas on how you made this pattern even better. I look forward to hearing from you! :-)
