Simple Ribbed Scarf 2


This is my fifth scarf.
I made this for my friend Alexis.
I made it using a ribbed pattern, although I knit very tight so it's hard to tell.
Ribbing is made by alternating the knit and purl stitch on the same row. BUT the next row needs to knit where you purled on the row before and purl where you knit.
That means you either need to switch from starting with the knit stitch on one row and then starting with the purl stitch on the next row OR you need to cast on in multiples of 4 (I did 20) so that you end with purl (if you started with knit) and can start again with knit on the next row.
This tactic makes it much easier, so you don't have to remember where you left off.
