This is my fourteenth scarf.
This scarf was relatively easy and quick to make. The only trouble with it is that you are attached at the hip to the pattern instructions. Only towards the very end did I memorize all 10 rows of the pattern.
If you do not yet own a stitch counter, now is the time to get one as it is very easy to forget which row you are on.
It may be helpful to note that when what I will call the main pattern is facing you, you are on an odd row.

As I have mentioned before, I normally like a somewhat skinnier scarf. However, I would have preferred to repeat this pattern twice (casting on 26 sts) to make a wider scarf with this pattern.
The yarn I used was made up of 60% Cotton, 38% Acrylic, and 2% Aluminum.
I used 138 yards of yarn.
Yarn gauge: 4.25 sts = 1"
I used size US 9 needles.

Rippleicious:
This Ripple Stitch Scarf is a breeze to knit and a lot of fun as well, particularly when knit in a bright color like the one shown -- perfect for chasing away cold-weather blahs.
The bulky yarn is a dream to work with, and you can knit one of these up in two or three evenings in front of the fire, or the television set. For gift knitting, make this one up in the recipient's favorite color, the color of their favorite sports team, or even stripes. Either way, it will be good to go in no time.
