The Broken Rib Scarf uses a stitch pattern that I’ve always loved: the broken rib stitch pattern. I also love mixing different textured yarns together.
By combining the two I have come up with this easy and beautiful scarf. It’s so lovely you’ll want to wear it everywhere. I have chosen 3 yarns I love together, but of course you can mix your own yarns. It’s a great stash-buster! Enjoy your scarf.
Some yarns for this design were provided by King Cole and Kreinik. All opinions are my own.

Hi, love the pattern, just one question, it appears to be double stranded in the pictures, is it in fact 2 strands worked together at the same time?
Yes, there are 3 yarns listed and they were all held together as one. It’s mentioned at the top of the post.
how do you come up with the idea for your designs
So many ways! Sometimes from something in nature, sometimes from a previous design of mine, sometimes they just come to me. This one is a simple one, it’s just a stitch I really like and I thought it would look nice with various yarns held together.
