First made this scarf 60 years ago, from one of my mother's WWII pattern books. In that book it is called the English Rib pattern. Further note on the first scarf: it was a Christmas present for my then boyfriend, now husband, and he told me he & his sister had fun pulling on it to see how stretchy it was. Anyone want to know how long it was before I made him anything else?
