This subtle diagonal stitch pattern is akin to k2, p2 ribbing, but the rhythm "walks" over by one stitch every other row (or round) for an exquisite, reversible texture that's easier than it looks. The handsome muffler has tailored slip-stitch selvedges and the cowl is worked on larger needles for a softer drape. Pattern is written in two gauges: DK and Heavy Worsted.
