Knitting in ends

Something I really dislike doing is weaving in the ends at the end of a project. I really love that I've learned how to knit in the ends like this and no longer have to worry about weaving ends in except after I've cast off.

This looks like a very easy technique but have never seen a pattern which calls for it. I think I'm going to try using this technique for a project such as an afghan which calls to pick up the stitches along the border to make an edge up the side. If there are any knitters out there, do you think that would work?

Fun Fur Scarf With Rounded Ends Knit Pattern

This is the generic pattern I created and use to make Fun Fur scarves.  By doing the increase and decrease rows in the beginning and end of the scarf, it gives the ends a more rounded appearance rather than stopping so abruptly.  Generally I use size 15 or 17 needles with 5 to 7 stitches wide for the narrow scarves and 1 ora 2 skeins of Fun Fur.   I've also made wider, more substantial scarves which could be used for warmth using 4 skeins of Fun Fur with double strands, size 10 needles and 14 stitches wide.  Currently I am working on one with a strand of white and a strand of red which I can wear to the Wisconsin Badger football games we attend in the fall. 

Cast on 2 stitches.
Row 1:  Knit
Row 2:  Increase in first stitch of the row (knit front and back) and knit across.
Repeat Row 2 until you have the desired number of stitches on your needle.

Knit in garter stitch to desired length.

Knit 2 stitches together at the beginning of each row until there are 2 stitches left.

Cast off.
