Instructions: Super scarf in a ribbed pattern

1. Cast on stitches:
   Size A: 119 sts | Size B: 131 sts | Size C: 161 sts – always cast on with 2 strands of yarn.

2. Return row: Knit 4 stitches, then alternate between knit 3 stitches / purl 3 stitches, ending with knit 4 stitches.

3. Continue knitting in rib pattern:
   • Edge stitches: 1 chain stitch on each side
   • Knit the stitches as they appear in rows back and forth.

4. Cast off loosely at the desired length – ideally just before the end of a ball of yarn.

Tip:
The looser you knit, the airier the scarf will be – if you want it extra fluffy, you can experiment with 5.5 mm needles.
