Creating the Pullover

1. Cast On: Begin with 40 stitches on your 7mm needles. Knit one row to start.
2. Pattern: Continue with the fan pattern to your desired length. The example scarf reached 80cm at this point.
3. Buttonhole Row (Optional): This is made on the first row of the pattern. Knit until the last 7 stitches, cast off 3 stitches, and then knit to the end. On the next row, purl and cast on 3 stitches over the previously cast-off stitches, then purl to the end.
4. Completion: Finish the pattern and work one more pattern set. Cast off knitwise on the 4th row of the pattern.
5. Final Touch: Sew on the button to complete the scarf.
