I made it over twenty years ago while I was spending a school year in rural France. My French "mother" was the town librarian and an amazing knitter. She opened her stash basket to me and walked me through every step of that crazy scarf. Since then I've made dozens of scarves, and I wonder sometimes if I've run out of fresh ideas for the next one. After all, the criteria for a scarf pattern are rather stringent: something that lies flat, that looks good on both sides and that has a soft and beautiful drape. With the holiday season upon us, I made sure to use a super special yarn for the super special people on your list, including scarf-o-phobe men!

Andalusian Stitch. The Andalusian stitch pattern is very pretty and simple to knit.

It creates a nice texture and is still simple enough to use instead of say a plain stockinette stitch pattern. It adds a little eye candy instead of plain knitting. This stitch pattern uses easy knit and purl stitches so it's a great pattern for beginning knitters. It's basically a stockinette stitch pattern with one row of ribbing (knit one, purl one) that changes the look to a kind of grid pattern. You will also find that it knits up pretty quickly because once you have worked the pattern a couple of times you will have it memorized. You can use this knitting stitch pattern in practically anything. Got any ideas?
