Suzies Stuff

I had several requests for a knit scarf pattern, so that knitters could participate in the "contest".

What I came up with is a sampler scarf. It is a combination of garter stitch and rib stitch pattern bands. So I will amend the contest rules to include making this pattern and posting it's completion in the comments below the pattern.

This pattern is suitable for any skill level knitter.
