Checkerboard Stitch Knitted Scarf

I knitted another scarf to donate. I found the checkerboard stitch pattern on New Stitch a Day's website. 

I used a Caron Anniversary Cake Special Edition (the colour is Holly Jolly) and 6.5mm needles. 

Cast on multiples of 8 stitches plus 4 (I cast on 20 stitches).
