3x3 ribbed scarf

When I first started showing off my knitting, I had a couple friends ask that I knit them something. I made this scarf for Rose, and originally she requested that I make her a white scarf, but I thought white was a little boring so I picked out this wonderful ivory colored wool. I bought 2 skeins of it, but I only ended up using one.

This Scarf was a real test for me, for a while every week I would fuck it up and have to take it to the yarn store so they could help my fix it. Eventually I learned how to fix it myself and then things were good. It's not perfect, but I think I may be the only one who can see all the mistakes.

so here we go...

I am using:

Yarn: Washington 100% Merino Wool, 1 skein 210 yards (192 meters)
Needles: Size 8 bamboo

Gauge: 4½ stitches per inch

Pattern

CO 33 stitches
odd rows: k3, p3
even rows: p3, k3
knit until desired length, or until you run out of yarn

final length: 52 inches (132 cm)

simple eh?
