With this pattern, you can create a cozy ribbed scarf. Alternate knits and purls to make thick and stretchy scarf. As you knit, you will see that the columns of knits and purls line up with one another to highlight the “V” or heart-shaped knit stitches.

Try customizing this pattern by choosing a different yarn color or material. While this scarf looks great in any solid color, you can spice it up with variegated (multicolored) yarn. Self-striping yarn is another way to add visual interest to this scarf. Experiment with different types of yarn material as well; merino wool and alpaca are soft and cozy choices. Just be sure to choose worsted weight yarn when making substitutions.
