Spiral Scarf and a pattern

I knitted my sister Jill some spiral fingerless mitts from the book Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson for her birthday. I had 2 skeins left, so I made her a scarf to match. With a little help from Janine, I figured out how to keep the pattern while knitting flat. Some may think this is a no-brainer, but it was a growth step for me.

Now that my first knitted project is finished, I wanted to share the pattern. For an experienced knitter, it's a simple rib pattern, that twist slightly as you go. All it takes is 2 skeins of sock yarn held together. I used Plymouth Happy Feet, and size 6 needles.
