Scarf is worked in two pieces from ends to center back neck. Pieces are joined

with either 3-needle bind-off or by weaving with Kitchener stitch.

Work somewhat loosely to make it easier to work K2tog.

3-needle bind-off: Place stitches from one piece on one needle, and stitches

from second piece on a second needle. Holding scarf pieces right sides together

and using a third needle, bind off stitches by inserting needle through one stitch

on front needle and one stitch on back needle at same time, binding off as usual

across row.
