I Really Need to Figure This Out

Years ago, I decided I needed a plaid scarf. I found a pattern in Vogue Knitting but it was unreadable. (Imagine that, an unreadable pattern in Vogue Knitting!) Anyway, I decided to come up with my own pattern for a plaid scarf. This is the beta version of my plaid scarf. This is a close up of the right side. I'm quite happy with the way this turned out.

This is the wrong side. It's not exactly the same but it's good enough for government work. The only thing I don't like is that you can see where the yarn is carried at the color changes.
Each color square is worked with two strands even if it's a solid square. I worked one row in the first color and then pushed the scarf to the other end of the needle (it has to be worked on circs even though it's knit flat) and worked the second row in the second color. Then I turned it and worked the third row in the first color, pushed it all back to the other end of the needle and worked the fourth row in the second color. So the yarn from row 1 is carried up to row 3 and the yarn from row 2 is carried up to row 4. I figured out a better way to do this about half way through the scarf but wasn't willing to frog the whole thing and start again.

So I figured it all out and never wrote it down. Now I want to make another plaid scarf and I have to figure it all out again.
