It's not really a Smidge, which is the nickname given to the home-made Pidge look-alike on Ravelry. It doesn't have that zig-zaggy stitch that I swatched in that nasty green cotton. I am working on a Smidge that does use that stitch; but I find the double-kmitting slow.
But this IS a short scarf, held closed with two buttons. The pattern I used is the one for a Multi-directional Diagonal Scarf, but only a fraction of a usual scarf length.
The yarn is Cleckheaton Vintage Hues. The colourway is 1268 - they don't seem to name the colourways, but citrus-and-grape seems about right.
The ball band says to use 6.5mm needles, but I used 5.5mm, as I wanted the garter stitch to close up a bit. With the two-colour strands of this yarn seen on the diagonal, it almost looks like linen stitch.
The finished length is 76cm/30 inches; width 11.5cm/4.5 inches.
I modified the cast-off (bind-off) end of the scarf to have a point or triangle end - I thought that looked better than just flat across.
I like this one.

I love your Short scarf held together with 2 buttons!! It is perfect for coler weather and I like the idea of not having the ends of a scarf to tuck away or fly in your fave all the time!! Very cool!!!
