Faced with a bumpy plane ride from NY to SF, I kept myself busy knitting this “worm” scarf with Lumpy Bumpy yarn in colorway “Storm”… How appropriate! I don’t know where the idea first came from, but here’s my version.

Row 1: k9.

Row 2: At beg of row, CO 4 sts as follows: k1 and leaving old st on left needle, place new st from right needle twisted onto the left needle.  Repeat, always knitting into the st just created until you have added 4 new sts. (13 sts on needle).  Without turning your work, BO 4 sts, k rem 9 sts.
