This pattern is perfect for a beginner’s first project. You only need 2 stitches-- Knit and Purl --to make the Double Broken Rib pattern. It’s also a great pattern for traveling, and knitting in public, because it is easy to memorize and easy to see exactly where you are in the pattern. I loved it because it showcased some spectacular colors in the yarn I used…. and sometimes, if the pattern is too busy, the colors can get “lost”.
