There aren’t a lot of scarf patterns out there that are suitable for guys or gals. Here’s one I came up with after thumbing through some stitch dictionaries. It uses the K1 below stitch. (I came up with this pattern months before the Knit 1 Below book debuted. Great minds must think alike! LOL!)

The stitch pattern is totally reversible. It looks the same on both sides. If you hate to purl, you’ll love this. You only purl one row in the entire scarf! Everything else is knit!
