Saw someone a few years ago with a very simple scarf and have tried to copy it. This is more of a recipe than a pattern. Pattern uses sock yarn but you could also use sport or heavier. It’s meant to be long enough to wrap around a couple of times for that bundled up feeling. For my example I cast on 44 stitches and knit until I ran out of yarn. You may want a second skein if you want it wider or longer. My finished and blocked dimensions are 16”wide by 7.5’ long.
The Turkish Stitch is one of the most basic forms of lace faggoting. It consists of yarn overs and knit two together with knit stitches on the end of each row. The repeat works with an even number of stitches. Using larger needles makes it more open and drape. Making it wider will give you a shawl more than a long scarf.
CO 44 st loosely (or any even number, depending on width desired) or provisional* cast on
Knit one row
K1, *YO, K2 tog Repeat from * across ending with K1
Repeat this row.
Cast off loosely.
Provisional Notes
* if you used provisional cast on, knit one row, cast off.
To have a stretchy bind on to match the bind off, use the optional winding provisional cast on. Leave enough yarn to cast off with no joins.

Suggestion - Use a safety line throughout as dropped stitches are not easy to pick up.
