***You can purchase an INEXPENSIVE AD-FREE PDF of this pattern on Ravelry HERE or Etsy HERE***

This incredibly soft and chunky scarf is the perfect quick knit for this winter. Made using only 3 balls of chunky yarn, this project is deliberately designed to be not just beginner friendly, but also to give texture and interest as a quick and easy knit for a more experienced knitter.

I used Scheepjes Namaste - the soft roving texture of the yarn makes the scarf so soft and squishy! But you can use any yarn that calls for 8mm needles (If you use lighter/heavier yarn then you will find your scarf width is different to mine).

Materials Needed

  • 3 Balls of Scheepjes Namaste 
  • 8mm Knitting Needles (Circular or Straight)
  • Large Eye Tapestry Needle
  • Embroidery Scissors
  • 2 Stitch Markers (Optional)

Stitches Used

  • k - Knit
  • sl1p wyif - slip one purlwise with yarn in front.

Written Instructions

  • Foundation Row: Cast on 25 stitches using the Long Tail cast on method.
  • Row 1 (ws): k10, *sl1p wyif, k1* repeat *to* twice more, k9. TURN
  • Row 2 (rs): k all stitches. TURN
  • Rest of Scarf: Repeat rows 1 & 2 until scarf is desired length (I just knit all 3 balls). 
  • To Finish: Cast off  knitwise on a Right Side Row.
