Chunky Tufted Scarf

This pattern uses simple repetitive knit/purl motif to create repeating tufts in and out from the center.

It uses one full skein of chunky yarn and is relatively quick to make!

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.

Gauge

12 st x 16 rows in stockinette stitch = 4″ (10 cm) square

Materials

Stitches Used

co – cast on
k – knit
p – purl
bo – bind off
sl wyif – slip purlwise with yarn in front

Notes

This scarf will look super short before blocking. I suggest hand washing with a wool wash and wet blocking to stretch to its finished size
