Easiest Scarf Ever

First knitting pattern post of the year! How exciting!!

I'll have a picture up soon (I mailed away the finished project before I snapped a shot) but I've been knitting this simple scarf for about two years now. It's so easy, and so perfect for everything.

US 10.5 or 12 needles
Cast On 40 stitches
Row 1: K1 P1 to the end
Every other row after that: slip 1, [p1, k1 to the end]
Bind off snugly, and add fringe if desired. 

The awesome thing about this scarf is it looks like stockinette, but it's actually a 1X1 rib. Slipping the first stitch keeps the first loop from looking too large or baggy or loose. It's extra warm and thick and very  comfy, and doesn't curl.

My grandmother taught me how to knit years ago. I haven't done it in ages though. I keep wanting to pick it back up. This sounds like a scarf that would be pretty easy to make. Maybe this year I will pick up the needles again. :)
