Mimic the look of the mistake rib knitting stitch pattern by combining stitches of different heights and working in the back loop. This beginner-friendly pattern makes a fabulously warm and stretchy unisex scarf. (It’s also a one-skein project in Lion Brand Scarfie!)

I also have a matching hat pattern, Faux Mistake Rib Watchman’s Cap in 8 sizes.

This pattern is available for FREE on my blog.
