Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 30 stitches using the long tail cast on method.
2. Row 1: *Knit 2, purl 2* across the row. Repeat from * to * until 2 stitches remain, knit those last 2 stitches (this helps in maintaining the edge structure).
3. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Row 1 until the scarf measures approximately 60 inches long. This usually takes about 60 rows.
4. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off the stitches loosely. To do this, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second and off the needle. Knit one more stitch and repeat this process until all stitches are bound off.
5. Weave in Ends: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Use your tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends along the edge of the scarf.
6. Block (optional): If desired, you can block your scarf to give it a more polished look. Wet the scarf, lay it flat, and gently stretch it to size, then let it dry completely.

Your Cozy Ribbed Scarf is now complete! It’s perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings during the fall season!
