One of my favorite video games is Mass Effect. The diverse world with the array of choices gives much to love and reason to play over and over again.
The choices are put into two categories and given as points.
The often seen as evil, or rebellious is Renegade (red) and
the good, hero or seen as mercy is Paragon (blue).
I used US 6 Straight needles and worsted weight yarn. for the scarf I'm using super bulky and us 15 straights.
Paragon
On a 40 x 40 chart.
Odd rows worked right to left and
even rows worked left to right.
Background is Main Color (MC) and the blue is the contrast color (CC). it is reversed on WS rows.
CO 40 with both strand colors in long tail.(total of 80 stitches) I made sure the black thread was second so it would be knitted first and matched across the cast on row.
The pattern is written as if one sided for the chart so always purl the backside in opposite color.

Sew/crochet/attach pocket to scarf!
Scarf Options
Now depending on your gauge for both needles and yarns the cast on can differ.
If you're doing one color for the scarf part I suggest a k1, p1 rib as it gives the illusion of a double knit sided scarf and leaves room to stretch.
that or you can double knit and achieve fun stripes and the like.
I crochet the pockets on to give them a nice border, but using a yarn needle and yarn is a good option, so is a needles and thread if desired.
Pictures of FO's to come!
