Knit odd rows like row 17, and even rows like row 18. Every 10th RSR is like row 22. Knit until you get the length you need. Finish the scarf the same way, but instead of increasing stitches, you decrease (2 stitches together). Once you finish knitting the required length, cast on elastic in rounds around the edges: 2 knit stitches, 2 purl stitches (make sure that the elastic closes up). Cross yarn over on the slanted edges, and knit 7-10 rows (optional). Bind off all stitches.
