Here's a "pattern" for a better late than never X-mas gift if you're interested. It's mindless knitting and only requires that you keep track of which weaving pattern you just finished.
You can knit this in an afternoon if you're in a hurry.

You can knit this in an afternoon if you're in a hurry.
Materials:
- Any knitting board with at least 14 pegs in each board side. I used a 22" KK Long Loom.
- 3-4 oz. bulky wool. You may need more depending on how long you'd like it to be.
- Loom Pick
- Row Counter (optional)
- Crochet Hook
- Scrap Yarn
- Scissors
- Cast on using the anchor yarn cast on method (instructions for this cast on can be found at the instruction section of http://www.knittingboard.com) The amount of pegs is up to you, just keep in mind that a stockinette boarder of two rows will run along both sides of the scarf.With that in mind, you'll need at least 10 stitches to show off the criss-cross pattern.
- After knitting the first row, begin criss-cross stitch pattern (also found in the instructions>stitches area of http://www.knittingboard.com).
- (If you have a row counter) click away the first row you completed. Every odd number from here on signals that you executed the first weaving pattern, which has you beginning the weaving at the top 1st peg and bringing it down to the 4th bottom peg.
- Next Row: Start weaving at the top 1st peg, but bring the yarn down to your 3rd bottom peg. Every even row will use this weaving pattern. A row counter should come in handy to remind you of which weaving pattern you're supposed to start with at the beginning of each row. A piece of paper would also take care of the job. A third solution is to make 2 yarn rings of contrasting colours. For example, a blue ring could represent even rows and red would be odd rows, which you'd switch accordingly every time you complete the first or second weaving pattern.
