Like all minimal knits | DESIGNED scarves, MK#68 drapes beautifully, can be worn in all sorts of ways, and is quick to knit because the pattern uses needles larger than is standard for the yarn.

I wondered what would happen if I adjusted the broken rib technique - one k1, p1 rib row, followed by one knit row. To my amazement, doing the k1, p1 rib row then two knit rows, we have a pattern that looks the same on both sides and looks rather complicated, although it actually is very easy knitting!

The pictured scarf was made from a 100g skein of Bombed Yarns 4ply 100% hand dyed merino in the colour One of a Kind, and measures 168cm / 66 ¼ inches, by 116cm / 45¾ inches, by 77cm / 30½ inches without blocking.

Skill Level: Easy
Materials: 400 metres / 438 yards of Fingering/Sock/4 ply yarn or a bit more

5 mm / US 8 needles

Gauge: Doesn’t matter unless you knit very tightly or very loosely, in which case go up or down a needle size, as applicable
