This is the pattern for adult version of very basic patterns, yet the results are delightful and warm.
Yarn: 2 balls of medium or sport weight yarn. The yarn should be soft to the touch. The good way to test this is to put the yarn against your cheek.
Recommended Needle size: For these particular scarves I used US#7/4.5mm.
Notions: Scissors, crochet hook.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The adult versions of these scarves are approximately 7" (18cm) wide, and between 68" (171cm) and 6' (183cm) long. The taller the person is, the longer the scarf should be.
Decide which pattern or patterns to use and cast on 28sts. Begin to work.

This pattern makes a small checker squares.
Keep knitting until desired length is reached. Cast off. To make the scarf more interesting keep changing the various patterns. The first and the last pattern should be the same, just to keep a bit of symmetry. The changing of the patterns will make the knitting less boring and monotonous, especially if you knitting scarf for a very tall person.
Finishing: Cut the yarn for fringes. Take two pieces of cut yarn and bend in half. With a crochet hook pull about half of the yarn through the edge of scarf. Pull the ends of yarn through the eye and make a knot. For easy way to have all fringes cut the same length check out my post : How to make the same length fringes, from October 2011.
