The Design
The perfect thing to wrap around you in a storm! Fisherman’s Rib is a simple, rhythmic rib created by alternating a knit stitch with a ‘knit one below.’ The result? A cozy fabric with unequaled warmth and volume. Soft, plump yarns are perfectly suited for this deeply textured stitch. Hurray!
In Manos Maxima, a single-ply worsted weight yarn, kettle-dyed stitches are crisp and tidy, and almost look woven. Fully reversible with a tidy slipped stitch edge, this toasty muffler makes for a quick, fun holiday knit!
