Beginner Striped Scarf Free Knitting Pattern

I had so much fun designing the Stunning String Learn To Knit Series of patterns for the novice knitter. It gave me an opportunity to create beginner friendly classic designs that would inspire new knitters. This Striped Scarf is great for any level knitter - especially those exploring color-work. Great for the guys and the gals and and you can make it in your favorite team colors as well.

NOTES:

Finished Measurements of your fabric:
Width

Width – 7 “ / Length – 96” Before Blocking

  • Wet blocking serves this scarf best and you will notice the stitches truly settle and it will add substantial length

  • I did not carry the yarn up as I changed colors so the stripes would be “clean” on the edges

  • I worked in the ends as I went along
