Horizontal "Ribbed" Scarf

This is a lovely little green scarf that I knit up for my friend for Christmas. The nature of the design shrinks in slightly on itself, but since it is a very simple pattern, it still knit up incredibly quickly and turned out looking really beautiful! I particularly like this pattern because unlike a normal ribbed scarf, which shows off the knit stitch, this scarf's ribs are the purl stitch.

To make this scarf you will need:
  • Approximately 300 yards of medium weight yarn - I used a Red Heart yarn in green
  • US Size 8 knitting needles
Skill Level: Beginner
  • Cast on 25 stitches
  • Row 1: K
  • Row 2: P
  • Row 3: K
  • Repeat these three rows until the scarf is at desired length - mine was approximately 6 ft long. I also chose to add a feminine touch for the future owner by adding some tassels.
