Barb's Koigu Ruffle by Kit Hutchin

Craft: Knitting

Barb Steinberg is a masterful weaver but claims she’s “not much of a knitter.” She arrived wearing this charming scarf and, when asked for the pattern, said she wasn’t quite sure what she’d done. Well, Churchmouse Studio dissected it, wrote it up, and the now-famous Barb’s Koigu Ruffle has become one of the most popular patterns ever. “Not much of a knitter” indeed.
