Basket Rib Stitch Knitted Scarf

I knitted another scarf to donate. I found the basket rib stitch pattern on New Stitch a Day's website. 

I used a Caron Anniversary Cake Special Edition (the colour is Holly Jolly) and 6.5mm needles. 

Cast on multiples of 2 stitches plus 1 (I cast on 23 stitches). I added an extra 3 stitches at the beginning and end of each row so it wouldn't curl.

• Row 1 (RS): Knit all sts. 
• Row 2: Purl all sts. 
• Row 3: *K1, sl 1; rep from * to last st, k1. 
• Row 4: *K1, wyif, sl 1, wyib; rep from * to last st, k1.
• Repeat rows 1 to 4, knitting to the desired length
• Bind off
