This is the pattern for the scarf that I made for my mom for her birthday in July. I don't know the originator of the original simple pattern, but I've re-vamped, re-written, changed, and turned it upside-down so to speak.
Use it as you will, but please credit me with the re-design and DON'T sell the pattern.
Ruffled Edge (Corkscrew) Scarf Great for beginners!
Vanna’s Glamour Yarn – 3 skeins needed, 202 yds per skein (This is a size 2 [sock] yarn) One skein for each half and the last is used in making the edging (which is optional).
Scarf can be knitted in other weight yarns --- use appropriate size needles and hook that will give you a TIGHT knit.
Size 5 knitting needles
2.0 mm crochet hook (for edging)

Bind off loosely. Fold ends in half and slip stitch to close to create rounded ends. Weave in all ends.
Edging: (Optional)
Round 1: Attach with slip stitch anywhere along outer edge of knitting (I started at the middle/back of neck area), chain 5 and sc measuring two to four knitted rows apart (or spacing as regularly as possible). End last with a chain 3 and a dc to attach to the beginning slip stitch. This keeps your next starting stitch at the top of the loop.
Round 2: Chain 5 and sc at the middle of each of the previous chain 5 row. End last with a chain 3 and a dc to attach to the top of the dc of Round 1.
Round 3: Chain 6 and make a picot 3 chains from hook and chain 3 again and sc to attach to the next chain 5 all around. Slip stitch at the end. Weave in ends.
