Broken Rib Scarf
This is one of my favourite stitch repeats. I put this nearly complete pattern (yarn amount and finished length are estimates) together for a learner who wanted to keep practicing their stitching. Hope you enjoy this make!

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
8” / 20 cm W x approx. 80” / 203 cm L
MATERIALS
ARAN WEIGHT YARN: approx. 5 skeins
CaMaRose Snefnug (55% Alpaca, 35% Cotton,
10% Extra Fine Merino, 120 yds / 110 m – 1.76
oz. / 50 g) in the colourway Gylden. Or
approx. 600 yds / 550 m in an equivalent yarn.
SUGGESTED NEEDLE SIZE
US 8 / 5 mm needles, either 9-10” / 23-25.5 cm
long straight needles or 24-32” / 60-80 cm long
circular needles. Or needle size needed to
meet the pattern’s gauge.
NOTIONS: tapestry needle, scissors.
GAUGE
17 sts x 24 rows = 4 x 4” / 10 x 4.5 cm, (in
broken rib pattern) after blocking.
NOTE: block the swatch (and finished scarf)
following the washing instructions written on
the ball band/tag on the yarn you’ve chosen
to use.
NOTES
The scarf is worked flat from end to end. Once you know how to transition between knits and purls and can read your work, this is a good beginner-friendly project to practice your stitching. The written instruction for the scarf is a pattern recipe. Pattern recipes provide enough information for makers to knit the item but will include approximations. This recipe is based on calculations from a swatch knitted in CaMaRose Snefnug. The pattern is complete with number of skeins and pattern repeats as estimates.
