Bind off loosely in pattern. If you desire a longer scarf, do as many repeats as desired, then work Rows 1-7 to finish (Rows 1-7 and bind-off will measure about 2 inches). Tip: When counting rows, after Row 7 the marked stitch is in the cable crossing row, which is the last row of the repeat. Work until you have 15 sts in the column above this stitch, then work the next cable crossingrow.
