This scarf is probably the simplest knitting project to complete. To master the Garter Stitch Scarf you will need to use a basic knit stitch and join several balls of wool, weaving in the ends of wool as you knit.

Using extra chunky yarn makes this project both quick to build and satisfying as you are left with a great statement piece for your wardrobe which is incredibly warm and cosy. This scarf makes a perfect gift, choose your favourite colour (or colours) and let your creativity go wild!

You can find a ‘Make your own…’ kit on my Etsy shop which has the wool and needles that you need to create this scarf. Click here to find the kit and my shop.

Already have your own needles? You can buy the Cygnet Chunky wool here.

The scarf pictured is 9” x 80” (23cm x 203cm) which is long enough to wrap around the neck twice or to tie around the collar of a coat.

Following the pattern below will produce a 9” x 80” (23cm x 203cm) scarf, if you would like to increase the size you can a) add extra rows which will make the scarf longer, b) add extra stitches to make the scarf wider. I have indicated on the pattern where to add extra rows and stitches to alter the size.

What you will need:

• Chunky wool – I used Cygnet Seriously Chunky – 4 x 100g balls*

• 12mm knitting needles

• Crochet hook / large blunt needle for weaving in the ends

• if you chose to increases the size of the scarf you will need to increase the amount of wool accordingly
