how many kits/purls will look good on a ribbed scarf?
im making my first ribbed scarf. i cant decide how many of knits and purls i should do on each row so that it will look good (e.g. 1x1, 2x2). i think 1x1 is too little. im thinking of 3x3, but ive never done ribbing before so i dont know how it will look. help?
im using baby blue yarn with a little bit of fuzz to it 
Ribbing 3 x 3 would look good for a scarf.
Using 1 x 1, your scarf would have almost a stockinette appearance; the ribbing doesn't show up distinctly in a scarf. The 2 x 2 ribbing (which is the most elastic ribbing) would look better than 1 x 1, but 3 x 3 would look even better.
A ribbing I like for scarves is "mistake stitch" ribbing. It's done over a multiple of 4 + 3 sts (31, 35, or 38 sts are good widths for worsted yarns). The pattern is K2, P2 across the row, end P1. Every row follows the same stitch sequence. This web site has pictures: http://www.crazyauntpurl.com/archives/2008/01/mistake_rib_wha.php
