Continue in Lace Pattern until scarf measures desired length, or until you have enough yarn left to work final border:
Knit 6 rows.
Cast off loosely.
Note: For a longer scarf, use two balls and double the length, working for 90+ inches before the border. For a wider scarf, you can add to the number of cast on stitches in multiples of 6. For example, you could cast on 37 (31=6), 43 (31+12), or 49 (31+18) stitches; however, a wider scarf will also require more yarn.
