Gathered Scarf for your Mother-in-Law (or not)

Materials:  Alpaca Ware Superfine Alpaca Yarn, 3 skeins (or approximately 540 yards of a fingering or DK weight yarn; wpi = 14).

Size 4US and 7US needles.

Finished measurements:  Length:  approximately 48 inches; Width:  approximately 6 inches;

Gauge:  I didn't check gauge, I just went for a relatively drapey fabric.  You want the scarf to be soft and malleable.

With size 7 needles, cast on 48 stitches.
Row 1, 3, 5:  Knit.
Row 2, 4, 6:  Purl.

Change to size 4 needles:
Row 7:  *Knit 2 together* 24 times (you'll end up with 24 stitches on the needles)
Row 8-12:  Knit.

Change to size 7 needles:
Row 13:  *Kfb* 24 times (you'll end up with 48 stitches again).

Repeat rows 2-13 until you've reached the length you want. 

Bind off.
