Knitting Pattern:  Soft as Clouds Scarf

1/15/2014

0 Comments

 
I absolutely LOVE knitting!  Years ago I made a scarf and then did nothing else.  It was about a year ago last fall that I decided to get back into it again...and have been enjoying it ever since!  If you are new to knitting, you can check out my post on knitting that I wrote last year that include some helpful resources to get you started.
My First Original Knitting Patttern!

During the holidays, I decided I was going to knit something for a friend of mine as a Christmas gift.  So I started knitting a yarn over (yo) pattern from scratch.  After a couple of attempts, I finally succeeded in creating a knitting pattern for a super-cozy wide scarf from one skein of bulky yarn that was kicking around in my stash.  Here's the pattern:

Materials:

1-2 skeins of any Red Heart bulky/super bulky yarn (Baby Clouds, Light & Lofty, Snuggle Bunny).  Just about any brand of soft bulky/super bulky weight yarn will do for this pattern.

Size 11 (8.0 mm) 14” long straight needles

Special abbreviation:  yo k2tog – It’s a basic yarn over stitch, except you knit 2 stitches together after wrapping the yarn around the needle.

Instructions:

Cast on 26 stitches

Row 2:  *k2, yo k2tog.  Repeat from* up to last 2 stitches, K2Row 1:  k to the end

Repeat rows 1 & 2 until you reach desired length

End with Row 1 (k to the end)

Bind off.

You may or may not wish to add tassels to the ends of the scarf.  If so, try using a contrasting color to make the scarf look really cool!

I hope you find this knitting pattern as fun to do as I did.  Please let me know what you think by posting in the comments section below, along with ideas on how you made this pattern even better.  I look forward to hearing from you!  :-)
