Easy Scarf knitting stitch pattern: Identical on both sides

Today, you’ll learn how to knit an adorable scarf knitting stitch pattern, ideal for beginners. 

Its advantages are many: It doesn’t curl, it’s reversible and identical on both sides, and it’s a two-row repeat pattern.

This scarf knitting stitch pattern is created only by a combination of knits and purls (no increases, decreases, nor slip stitches are required).

Easy to knit, it’s a great stitch for knitting women’s and men’s scarves, cowls, and even a blanket, as well as the last version of the Broken Rib we learned some days ago.

Abbreviations

st: Stitch

CO multiples of 4 + 1; i.e.: 4 * 3 = 12 + 1 = 13 stitches.

1º row: P1, *k3, p1*. Repeat from * to *, to the end.

2º row: *k2, p1, k1*. Repeat from * to *, to last st, k1.

These two rows form the pattern. Repeat them until the desired length is reached. When finished, BO each st as it presents.
