SPECIAL ABBREVIATION:

Ssp (slip, slip purl) – Slip 2 sts, one at a time, knitwise. Return these sts in their new orientation to left needle. Purl them together through the back of the loops.

NOTES: To keep the edges of the scarf neat, the first stitch of every row is slipped purlwise with the yarn in back on right side rows, and in front on wrong side rows. After slipping the first stitch, move the yarn to the correct side of the work to continue in pattern, and tighten the slipped stitch slightly if needed.

Two stitches are increased in the center of the thumb gusset each time so that the rib pattern will be maintained.

The wristlets are worked in the round, with rounds beginning at the center of the wrist.
