This reversible scarf in slipped garter rib is a perfect project for less experienced knitters and for guys who like simple, uncomplicated style. Instructions are given for tubular edging if you’re up for the challenge, but also for substituting an easier method of your choice. Knit Dunaway in Loft or Shelter – 2 skeins of Loft make a lightweight, smaller scarf; 6 skeins of Shelter make an oversized cozy muffler for the worst of the winter weather.
