Pattern Mistake Rib: CO 23. Every Row: *K2 P2* to last 3 sts, K2 P1. Slip first stitch of each row knitwise.
Yarn Knit Picks Decadence 100% Superfine Alpaca in Winter Berry. 2 full hanks (242 yards) for scarf and approx 30 yards for fringe.
Needles 6mm/US 10. I started with my Boyes because I love knitting narrow items on my straights. But, the point of the needle combined with the loose spin of the yarn caused extra splitting. I switched out to Addi circs and it was better. Even still, the US 10s killed my hands and I took several days off before knitting the last portion of this scarf.
Size 71 inches long without fringe and 6 inches wide. In my opinion this is a perfect length for a scarf. It's longer than I usually do and I love it. The width will probably decrease 1-1.5 inches with wear if it's anything like my mistake rib scarf.
Hi,
I am new to knitting, and was really impressed with how mistake rib looks like and want to make my own mistake rib scarf. I searched the web and found your site. I am finding difficulties in understanding the concept. I did several rows, but it doesn't seem to "pop up" like mistake rib needs to be. Can you help me with the right side and wrong side of the pattern?
Thankyou very much.

Do you slip the first stitch on the first row, or do you do the first row and then start slipping on the second row???
Thanks

Hello!
I like so much this kind of scarf :-)
I have a doubt! I am new and I don't understand if you have to slip the first and then do *K2 P2* or the slip counts like K1, I mean, Slip K1 P2 *K2 P2*
Can you help me?
Thanks so much :-)

Hello Xulleta, This isn't my pattern, but from having used this stitch before, I can tell you that when you start each pattern, the initial Slip 1 counts as part of the K2, so each row starts with:
Sl1, K1, P2, K2, P2...
