Let me start off by saying that someone out there may have already come up with this pattern. I was looking for something simple but cool for my 8 year old niece L.G.
What I decided to do was basically a stockinette stitch but with a twist. I started my first row with a purl stitch, alternating my one stitch each row to form a zigzag pattern for my triangles. Below is the pattern I used. Just keep rotating through the first and second triangle. I also alternated shade of pink for the scarf.
I found a knit trim on pinterest (because who doesn't need fun ends on a scarf?!) from Lions Brand of triangles that I thought would go perfectly.
First Triangle:

| Put a slip knot on needle. |
 |
| 1st row (RS) Kfb. 2 sts. |
 |
| Kfb = Knit Front and Back |
 |
| 2nd row Kfb, k 1. 3 sts. |
 |
| 3rd row Kfb, k 2. 4 sts. |
 |
| 4th row Kfb, k 3. 5 sts. |
 |
| Continue to increase one st at the beginning of every row until there are 7 sts. Break the yarn and leave sts on a spare needle. Make the required number of points without breaking the yarn after the last one. Next row K 7 sts of last point, with RS facing k each set of 7sts in turn. |
 |
| Work 2 rows garter stitch. Bind off. I added one extra stitch in the middle to make a total of 15 stitches because my scarf is 15 stitches wide. |
 |
| With knitting in stockinette stitch the edges curl unless you do a border in a different stitch. You can also steam the knit item and let it dry flat. |
 |
 |
| Once dry all that's left is to attach the knit trim to the ends of the scarf. I used the yarn tail that was left to attach the knit trim triangles. |
 |
| One more scarf done and many more to go :) |
 |
| A close up view. |
Happy Crafting!
