Chunky Argyle Scarf
This pattern uses simple repetitive knit/purl motif to create a diamond shape.
It uses one full skein of Sewrella Yarn Classic Bulky (or similar 106 yd/100g) and is relatively quick to make! This one is super beginner friendly. Who needs all the right/left leaning decreases and yarn overs to make lacework? (most of my other similar one skein bulky scarves do actually have those stitches to be fair but this one doesn’t!)
The picture in the above sample is a solid color. I have also made this scarf with variegated yarn, but the color changes do tend to take away from the argyle pattern.
I am also selling scarves made in this pattern. You may sell scarves made in this pattern but please tag K &S Knits if you do so.
