Rick Rack Scarf

I recently unearthed the first project I ever knit, a moth-eaten stockinette scarf. 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. 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!

The Pattern Gauge 6 1/2 stitches = 1 inch in Rick Rack Rib Finished Size With 5 skeins: 7 inches wide and 66 inches long With 4 skeins: 7 inches wide and 53 inches long Begin Cast on 46 stitches. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until piece measures 53 or 66 inches long (depending on how many skeins you're using), ending with Row 2. Here's How to Do It!
