I think the pattern was from lionbrand, but I cant remember, and we're away from home. I *do* remember the pattern though... I used homespun yarn, and it took more than one skein. cast on 29 stitches on a 9 or 10 needle (I used circular) the pattern called for it to be garter stitch, which would have alleviated my problems with curling, but I like stockinette better, so I did it out of that.
The entire scarf was supposed to measure 76" before pockets. You knit the whole thing then fold up 8" on each end and join the sides to make the pockets. Knit in stockinette til it measures 8" ending in a purl row, then do another purl row and stockinette for another 60" ending in a purl row, then purl another row, and stockinette for the last 8" That makes the pockets reverse of the body of the scarf so that when you fold up the pockets, they match. The pattern didnt call for it but I used fun fur/eyelash and crocheted a border around the whole thing.
Sorry my instuctions are weird... I dont know the proper names and ways to tell you to do it all
