When I first began designing this neck gaiter, I had all kinds of ideas. I thought of adding some cables, or maybe a fancy stitch pattern. Then I realized that most men like things simple and streamlined. That’s when I decided to use the Open Rib Stitch. It’s unfussy and has a rugged look to it that men will love. Simple to wrap, and quick to knit, this would make a great gift for the men in your life.
