I have wanted to make myself a scarf for several months but generally find men's scarf patterns to be a little too boring. However, I found this diagonal rib pattern that proved to be both easy and engaging. In fact, I would say the most difficult aspect of the entire project was weaving in all the yarn from all the color changes! To make the scarf, I used size 6 needles with a fairly light-weight merino wool (I would guess that it was sport weight - but the packaging wasn't printed in English, so I'm not exactly sure.) I was again impressed with the ease of knitting with wool; I might have a hard time returning to synthetics ever again!
