SMIT·TENS (noun) = SCARF + MITTENS.
I taught myself to knit. I only learned 2 stitches, knit + purl.
But that's all you need to know to make this cozy scarf!
Pattern:
♥ 3 stitches x 4 rows = one checkerboard box.
♥ Alternate blocks of purl/knit to form checkerboard pattern.
♥ Size scarf accordingly...
♥ (2) yarn balls w/ size 10 needles.
♥ I made my own buttons (wood hearts, orange oil/beeswax).

Tips:
The pockets on this scarf is a 5 x 5 checkerboard. (If that gives you any clue to how to size the scarf). Actual measurements will depend on the type yarn. My purple scarf is ~5'-0" (wingspan length). The gray one (above) is 6 ft. long, and will wrap around the neck once and hang down to hands-in-pocket length. Sized for men. (see more pics it here).

I intended this to be a birthday gift for my sister... but 3 months lapsed by and it's +100 degree weather outside. Oops. Sorry sister, maybe next yr... or Christmas.
I added a hood on this one for extra flair. I think it came out cute!
