For anyone looking to make the scarf that I knit for my supervisor as a thank-you gift (posted to Ravelry, hence why there's no history of it on this blog), here's the chart (no written directions, since trying to make them succinct enough to prevent a coronary on my part was a bit too stressful). Make sure you read the bit after the chart so it makes more sense.

blank square = knit on right side, purl on wrong side
– = purl on right side, knit on wrong side
/ = k2tog on right side, p2tog on wrong side
circle = yarn over
The pattern for the actual scarf is basically moss stitch (US term)/double moss stitch (UK term) over 27 stitches+2 selvedge stitches and 26 rows - represented by the first and last four rows of the above chart (where I left out the selvedge stitches due to lack of forethought) - followed by the eyelet-diamonds-eyelet pattern. Lather, rinse, repeat.
What makes this such a major PITA to write out is the fact that the eyelet-diamonds-eyelet pattern happens to be worked over an odd number of rows... which means that after the second eyelet row, you're starting the next moss panel on the opposite side of the scarf from wherever you were working before. Hence the headache.
The eyelets and fringe at each end of the scarf aren't in this pattern because they annoyed me to no end and shouldn't be attempted by sane people.
