a very easy knitting pattern designed by Sue Burke for our Romney yarn, this is perfect when you want some warmth around your neck without the bulk of a longer scarf. It rolls or folds up nicely to tuck into a pocket or bag so it’s especially great for travel. The stitch is sometimes called a "mistake rib," with wide and deep rounded ribs that fold softly at the neck—quick to knit and a very nice gift.

Sizes: one size fits all
Skills: knitting, purling, simple crochet chain stitch
Level of difficulty: easy
