I love this stitch pattern.  It's from another scarf pattern that I have but it runs down the length of the scarf.  It's very pretty, but I get tired of all that chaining (171 chs) and the long foundation row.  So I decided to turn the pattern so it runs the width of the scarf and then turn it into a cowl.    There is a stitch diagram after the written pattern.  Hope you like the changes.
