Chunky Tufted Scarf
This pattern uses simple repetitive knit/purl motif to create repeating tufts in and out from the center. This and my Chunky Argyle Scarf are my two lacework patterns that are the most beginner-friendly! There are no left or right leaning decreases or yarn overs.
I used one skein of Sewrella Yarn Classic Bulky (106yd/100g) to make this scarf. You should be able to use any similar bulky yarn.
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
- 1 skein bulky weight yarn (100m/100g)
- US size 13 (9.00mm) knitting needles – flat or circular
- 1 tapestry needle to weave in ends
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
