Notes:
Not your typical rib pattern, this scarf combines two Knit/Purl
combinations to create an instant classic for men or women. The
Knit/Purl combinations are easy to learn, and the rhythm will have
this piece knitted up in no time. The weight of the scarf and the
slight stretch of the alpaca as the scarf increases will contribute a
little to the end length.
