The Crochet Starbean Stitch combines stitches that separate the lattice itself and is designed for intentional, easy repetition.
It was harder to get the sizing up front, as it's difficult to know how far a Caron Anniversary Cakes will take a crochet throw project. In the end, I would have eliminated 2 repeats going across to make it less wide so it could be longer. Of course, if you prefer it wider, you can opt for that, but know you will need a second ball if you want the length to be longer than the width. The pattern has been adjusted so the length is longer than the width.
If you prefer to use regular-weight yarn, the stitch multiple of 17 chains + 1 will keep you in line so you can make the auto adjustments. I can see this being awesome in Red Heart Super Saver Bitty Stripes as well.

The Difference Between Scarf and Cowl
The difference in this version is that the lattice work continues to build across. Unlike the scarf, you have only two lattices nestled between the edges. The stitch multiple has to be established.
