A knitting pattern. Recipes and patterns have a lot in common. They instruct you how to perform a certain task to achieve a certain goal. They tell you what items you need to accomplish that. They expect you to read the entire thing, start to finish, before charging off into disaster. They both utilize specialized instruments.
"Twins" Scarf, using the "thick and thin zigzags" pattern from The Big Book of Knitting Stitch Patterns
You will need:
1 pair of size US #11 straight knitting needles. I prefer bamboo.
2 skeins of Sensations "Angel Hair" yarn, available at JoAnn's, or another bulky plush yarn. Angel Hair is a wool-acrylic-nylon blend and comes in 120 yard skeins. Pick any color you like; my scarf was done in "Berry."
Cast on 22 stitches. Follow pattern and knit until the scarf is as long as you want or you run out of yarn.
