CO 58 sts using the Chinese Waitress cast-on or any stretchy cast-on

Tips on Feather and Fan from the video:

-Knit 2 knit stitches on either side of the scarf for your garter-stitch border
-Spread out your stitches so you can count them easier
-Where the repeats come together you'll have six K2togs in a row.
