Despite all the wonderful scarf patterns available out there it’s amazing how often I’m asked for basic scarf patterns. A good chunky 2 x 2 rib scarf is in my opinion, one of the best as it’s double sided and unisex.
This one uses 2 strands of double knit yarn held together to produce a chunky effect of course you could also use a standard chunky yarn. I tend to find I have more double knit yarns in my stash and using 2 different coloured yarns can produce some interesting affects.
