GAUGE:
8 sts + 12 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) over St st (k on RS, p on WS) with 1 strand each of A and B held together. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Pocketed October Scarf Reviewed by Emily Folino on 2011-10-02
I was really excited to make this, but as I was, I feel like I realized why some people were having difficulties with the pattern. When decreasing back to 20 stitches at the collar, I think there was a skipped over instruction. After 35 inches, the WS should say K4, purl to stitch marker, knit to end instead of K4, purl to last 4 sts, k4. K4, purl to last 4 sts, k4 should only be used once back at the original 20 stitches to get the 50 inches. Other than that and having to look up 'how to' pocket videos on Youtube, I really enjoyed this pattern.
