The knit kit suggests one ball but this will only give 18 repeats and makes for quite a short scarf! For 42 repeats you will need three balls, but you may find that two balls are enough for a scarf of reasonable length.
We know how frustrating it can be when a knitting project runs into problems. If we become aware of an error in one of our patterns, an instruction that's confusing, a discontinued yarn or just a piece of helpful advice, here's where we'll post it. Just click on the relevant cover.

The tension square for this pattern reads to use 4.5mm needles; whilst the knit kit advises to use 8mm needles - the correct size to use is 8mm - unfortunately an error led to the wrong size of needle being put in the tension square.
Also, there is an error in the stitch pattern. The stitch pattern box should read:
Stitch Pattern (Worked on multiples of four stitches plus two extra)
Row 1: (RS) k
Row 2 and every WS row: p
Row 3: k1, *yo, k2tog, k2; repeat from *
Row 5: k
Row 7: k1, *k2, yfwd, k2tog; rep from * to last st, k1
Row 8: p
Rep rows 1 - 8 to get pattern
Work even in pattern, keeping 5 sts in garter stitch at front edge.
