19 February 2013: (Version 1.1): 

While the chart legend was correctly written in Version 1.0 of this pattern, the chart symbol for the wyif slip stitch worked on the WS of the scarf on Version A has been revised to standard, which also helps to differentiate itself from the same stitch worked on the RS of the scarf on Version B.
