This is the easiest version of Farrow Rib I have found. Cast on a multiple of 3, and work the same three stitches, repeated on both sides until you are done. (k2, p1)
This pattern is super super simple, and adaptable for whatever yarn and needle size you find pleasing. Although easy, there is just enough interest to keep the casual knitter engaged without boredom, even while watching Stargate SG-1 reruns.
Best of all, the pattern stitch is the same on both sides, perfect for a scarf.
