Easy Ribbed Scarf by Susan Michele Green
This is an incredibly easy ribbed scarf created using a 5x5 knit/purl pattern. There is probably nothing new or original in its design, but it is fun nonetheless. The pictured scarf uses US 8 needles and 1 skein of Plymouth Yarns Mushishi in Harvest. For a larger scarf, just use heavier yarn and larger needles.
