The Compound Pocket Scarf has alternating sections of crochet linen or moss stitch, and double crochet shells, making a fabric that is super comfortable to wear because it is so stretchy.
You can make an extra long one like I did her so the wearer can wrap it around their neck, or go shorter if it just drapes behind the neck.
Pockets are made in a contrasting color for extra interest, and the contrast is also used for the edging, but you could go all one color if you wanted to!

What does the abbreviation TK stand for in this sentence: Rep Rows 2 – 5 for pattern until work measures TK”
TK is an editing abbreviation that we use when we are going to put the actual number in later. So it means I am an idiot :-)96” or desired length and I am off to fix the pattern. Thank you for letting me know!
