This scarf is made with an orderly lace rib, which results in an elegant looking fabric.  The two-row stitch pattern is a good introduction to lace for beginners, who will be amazed at what they can make with just a few simple stitches.  The smaller size is a good all-purpose scarf, and the larger size (shown in both photos) is luxurious to wrap around your neck multiple times to keep the wind out.
