These days I have more energy for my knitting projects in general than for my bread-and-butter telecommute job. In fact, I've sort of set aside the purple square I was knitting, for charity, but I'm gonna get back to it when the Tanbark towel's done.
But will also finish my purple square for the Many Colors knit-along at knittinghelp.com, and knit another square, maybe also in Tanbark.

Detail shot, 13th Rib Pattern version 2
In Version 2, double moss stitch, the striping effect of the 13th single-rib stitch is a bit less noticeable but still there to break the monotony.

Notice striping effect of the 13th single rib stitch, after knitting 12 rows of seed stitch/British Moss (k1 p1 one row, and p1, k1 next row, even number).

13th Rib Scarf
Basically, much as I love moss stitch, I wanted something to break the monotony.
And so, I decided to do something different with the 13th row. To explain the pattern name, it means the 13th row is a rib stitch, where the previous row's knit stitches are purled, and the purls are knitted.
Cast on an even number of stitches.
Version 1, British Moss Stitch (aka Seed Stitch):
Row 1: Knit 1, Purl 1
Row 2: Purl 1, Knit 1
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for Rows 3 to 12:
Rows 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 -- as Row 1
Rows 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12-- as Row 2
Row 13: Purl 1, Knit 1
Repeats Rows 1 to 13 until desired length:
Rows 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 -- as Row 1
Rows 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 and 25 -- as Row 2
Row 26: As Row 13
And so on
Sorry, for now this is my only available pic of a 13th rib scarf pattern, using Filati FF Sailor cotton yarn, Po River colorway. Notice the slight stripe effect of the 13th row.
I'll take more and better pics of the other scarves in this pattern.
Version 2, American Moss Stitch (aka Double Moss Stitch):
Rows 1 and 2: Knit 1, Purl 1
Rows 3 and 4: Purl 1, Knit 1
Rows 5 and 6: Knit 1, Purl 1
Rows 7 and 8: Purl 1, Knit 1
Rows 9 and 10: Knit 1, Purl 1
Rows 11 and 12: Purl 1, Knit 1
Row 13: Purl 1, Knit 1
Repeat Rows 1 to 13 until desired length.
Version 2's striping is subtle too and this pattern works best with solid yarns... I think. Haven't tried it with variegated yarns.
