Ribbed Scarf

A simple pattern which produces a scarf with loads of texture. Just 2 rows repeat throughout the pattern so one to do in front of the TV or when not much concentration is required. Using the basic pattern you can make this scarf as long or as wide as you like. Ive made mine long enough to wrap round the neck a couple of times. A matching hat pattern is also available on Ravelry.
