The Design

“Magical mistakes.”

Ah, the magic of mistake rib! It’s worked in the soothing rhythm of knit-two, purl-two ribbing, but an extra stitch ‘oopses’ the next row over by one, giving you a much more complex texture than the simple ribbing instructions imply. Cozy and modern, this beanie and scarf is one comfy duo!

We knit the Mistake Rib Beanie & Scarf in Berroco . A wonderful, huggable yarn, it blends the softness of alpaca with the springy reliability of Peruvian Highland wool, while the chunky gauge ensures a quick, squishy knit!
