 Hi - here are some very easy patterns:

WICKED EASY SCARF 

Using size 11 or 13 needles, cast on 24 or 28 stitches (or any multiple of 4  if you want it wider) using a soft knitting worsted weight yarn.
Just  K2, P2  every Row until it is as long as you want!
For a 4-year-old, maybe 2 ½ or  3 feet?  Fringe the ends if desired.
 

 WARM AND WOOLY SCARF 

Using worsted weight yarn and a 29" long circular needle size 8 or 9    OR  using DK weight yarn and a 29" long circular needle size 7, cast on about 150 to 175 stitches; knit every Row (the garter stitch makes for a fluffier and therefore warmer scarf).

At the end of each Row, you can  make a very neat end by:  knit to within the last 3 stitches of the Row;  bring the yarn to the front as if to purl, and slip the last 3 stitches as if  to purl.
Next Row, when you pull the yarn from 3 stitches back to knit the first stitch, it causes the end stitches to wrap around themselves and make a  neat finished edge. BUT if that's too much trouble, you don't have to do it.


Continue until the scarf is as wide as wanted; bind off loosely.
Fringe if  desired.  This is especially pretty if you use a variegated, heather, or flecked yarn.
 

 PATTERNED SCARF


With DK yarn and size 6 or 7 straight needles, cast on about 36 stitches or  a multiple of 6).
For the first three rows:  K3,P3 straight across.
For the  next three rows, P3, K3 straight across.  This makes a pleasant little  texture and is great with a solid color yarn (also it is a reversible pattern   - no front or back to the scarf).  Knit as long as desired; bind off; fringe  if you like.

 These are three of my favorite quick scarf patterns - hope one of them will  help you!  Good luck - Barbara
