Written pattern for a scarf in the form of a Celtic-style knot. The scarf holds its shape while it’s worn, so you can see the pattern if you lay it flat on your chest. It is more decorative than warm.

The scarf is worked flat in rows of sc, with strategic increases and decreases causing the bends and curves. You’ll make several different pieces that assemble into the finished product.

With the given colour scheme (three colours: inside, outside, middle), you’ll need about 250 m of the inside and outside colours, and about 200 m of the middle colour.

Gauge is 20 sc to 11 cm. I used a 4mm hook with Soft and Shiny yarn by Loops and Threads. Ravelry classifies this as aran, but I get 11 WPI, which would make it DK.

In addition to the usual materials, you’ll want safety pins; lots of short (10 cm or so) pieces of yarn of a contrasting colour to use as running stitch markers; and masking tape to label those markers.

The stitches used are chains, slip stitch, single crochet, and sc2tog. The pattern should be accessible to a motivated beginner.

This pattern was generated using the technique of A General Method for Knotwork Crochet, a technique for turning knot designs into crochet patterns.
