No Ordinary Rib Scarf Pattern

No Ordinary Rib Scarf Pattern
Designed by Urszula Szwabowicz
Basic rib scarves are surely warm and good looking, but they are quite boring to knit… No
Ordinary Rib pattern is a modified version of 1x1 rib which provides a bit more
entertainment while knitting and still remains suitable for beginners.
Note: Wrong side of the scarf looks much like the traditional 1x1 rib. The pattern has a neat
slip stitches edge.
