Mistaken Rib Scarf

I have been working on a scarf that I really like to make!  I have made several of them.  The pattern just appeals to me!

I found this pattern on Vickie Howell's blog.  Although she is using her Sheepish yarn, I am using Red Heart Super Saver in the colors of Black, Brown and White.

Makes for a very nice stylish scarf!
