  Step 1

  Firstly, you need to decide if you want to make the 'perfect' version of the scarf, which reqires making 4 pieces and then weaving them together. Or, you can make the one piece version. If you choose the one piece version half of your bats will be slightly imperfect because you'll knt them upside down (see left bat)My scarf is the 'imperfect' version

• Step 2

  So, head on over to Island of Misfit Patterns and get the 36 row bat motif pattern, here's the link: http://www.islandofmisfitpatterns.com/2007/08/21/fu/

  Imperfect Scarf (1 piece)
  Cast on 39 sts
  Knit 9 rows
  Work 3 rows in stocking stitch, ending with a K row
  Work bat motif backwards (ie start with row 36)
  Work 9 rows stocking stitch (maintaining garter stitch borders)ending with a Purl row

• Step 3

  Purl 1 row (now you have your first pocket!)
  Work 17.5 cm in stocking stitch starting with a K row and ending with a P row
  Work bat motif 6 times, starting with row 1 this time so you get'perfect' bats.
  Knit 3 rows (gives you a cute little ridge in the middle of your scarf)
  Work bat motf 6 times starting with row 36, giving you your 'imperfect bats)

• Step 4

  Work 17.5 cm in stocking stitch, ending with a P row
  Work 9 rows stocking stitch, starting and finishing with a P row
  Work 1 bat motif, starting with row 1
  Work 3 rows in stocking stitch
  Knit 9 rows
  Cast off

• Step 5

  Fold your 2 end bats over the stocking stitch sections and stitch up the sides to make your pockets.

  Weave in any ends

  Wear and enjoy!

• Step 6

  Perfect version (4 pieces)
  Pockets (make 2)
  Cast on 39 sts
  Work 9 rows st st, ending with a p row
  Work bat motif once
  Work 3 rows st st
  K9 rows
  Cast off

• Step 7

  Main sections (make 2)
  Cast on 39 sts
  Work 17.5 cm st st, ending with a p row
  Work bat motif 6 times
  Place stitches on a holder
  When both pieces are done, cast off both edges together (3 needle cast off) to give you a cute ridge in the middle of the scarf

• Step 8

  You should now have 3 pieces, 2 pockets and one main section

  Attach the pockets, weave in any ends and wear and enjoy!

This is such a cool scarf! Unfortunately I'm not very good at knitting difficult patterns :I
