One garter-stitch scarf in Jiffy's worsted weight "quick and easy mohair look yarn", fall colors ('El Paso', I think), variegated yarn. Finished yesterday while visiting at a friend's for the holiday.
Cast on about 35 stitches on size 10.5 needles. Knit back and forth in garter stitch forever. Repeat until 5-6 feet in length, whatever suits. Cast off loosely.
That many stitches makes a rather broad scarf. Some people like 'em skinny and very long, but I used to have an off-white scarf about this width and style and, apparently, have always wished to recreate something similar. The nice thing about a thick garter scarf like this is you can drape it around your neck, turn the edge back to look like a shawl collar, and pin shut with a broach. I rather like the idea of that look.
