Scarf

Cast on 8 stitches and work in K1, P1 ribbing for about 38 cm (15 in), or to your preferred length. Knit a loop for the scarf so you can thread both ends through it instead of tying them.

Cast on 61 stitches and work 8 rows in K1, P1 ribbing. Switch to the main stitch pattern and knit 7 rows. Begin decreasing.
