I am always looking for interesting but easy stitch patterns. I love this scarf and now I plan to make one for my dearest uncle. Thanks a bunch. I think I will try the rib rows as well. Just thanks

Hi Catherine, I didn’t have a problem with curling on any of the scarves I’ve made and I followed the pattern as it’s written. I think Jill’s suggestion, though, is a good one that maybe you should try. Just start and end with an inch or two of K3, P3 ribbing. Have fun!

Hi Craig – Thanks for this great pattern! I’m planning on making it for my boyfriend after I finish another project. My question is that I’ve seen some scarves where the ends curl in, but yours doesn’t seem to have that problem. Is it because of the bulky yarn? I’m using a slightly different yarn (Cascade 128 Superwash) that calls for size 10 needles, so still on the thicker side. Do you think I’ll encounter that problem? Thanks again!

I’m glad you like the pattern, Jill! Adding the ribbing at the ends is a great idea. I need to try that next time. Thanks!

I found this via a Ravelry search “Man Scarf.” ; ) Love the stitch. Thanks, Craig. Here’s an idea: I started my version with an inch of K3, P3 ribbing (gleaned from another Man Scarf). It draws in the edge ever so slightly – a nice beginning and finish.

There isn’t a hat pattern, but it’s a good idea. I’ll put it on my to-do list!

This is a great pattern! Is there a Montana hat to match?
