How these Beginner Knit Scarves are Made

This scarf is knit flat using simple garter stitch, which means you’ll knit every row: no purling required. The pattern includes instructions for three scarf sizes: a standard-width scarf, an extra-wide version, and a mini scarf ornament. Choose your size, cast on the recommended number of stitches, and knit your way to cozy. This project is perfect for practicing tension, learning the basics, or gifting a handmade hug. 🧣

Materials

I designed the Beginner Knit Scarf using Caron Simply Soft yarn in solid colors. Try their variegated “Paints” yarn line to spice things up. Or, you can substitute almost any worsted weight yarn in this pattern successfully; just check your gauge before you start.

Skills

This is a beginner knitting skill level pattern that requires a general understanding of casting on, turning your work, the knit stitch, binding off, and weaving in loose ends.

Care
