54 Harvest Neck Gaiter

Egan: "It's a quick knit, with twisted stitches mimicking the shape of the ears of wheat in the ribbing. Row gauge matters here, or you may need to work another repeat for desired length." It's also a piece wearable by men, women, or children, in any cold weather anywhere in the world. And it's our favorite thing, too-- something that would look plausible in any knitting age of history, from the middle ages through now. It's a combination of easy twisted stitches (RT and LT) and k1B's. Warm, elegant, fast, and easy. Stitch patterning is both charted and written out.
