This simple rib stitch design creates a lofty, lush fabric when paired with our Merino and Silk yarn. It also knits up quickly, making it a great one-skein knitting project you will want to knit as a gift again and again!

My mother, an intrepid new knitter, has been busy knitting up scarves as gifts for our family in Taiwan. This is her latest creation — big needles, big cushy yarn — a gorgeous, warm scarf.
