Hot Frosty Scarf is a replica design inspired by the garment featured in the popular romantic holiday movie.

The Seeded Rib Stitch Pattern creates thick, textured rows with a simple mix of knits and purls, making it perfect for beginners. This stitch is stretchy yet holds its shape thanks to the seed stitches nestled between the ribbing. It’s a popular choice because it is reversible and naturally lies flat, eliminating the need for extra finishing work.

Inspired by the Hot Frosty Movie
When I first watched Hot Frosty, I loved that a magical knitted scarf plays such a meaningful role in the story. Its cozy, textured design felt like it belonged in my knitting projects, too. So, I set out to recreate my version of the scarf. Knitting it up in its vibrant red hue sparks that festive holiday feeling within, which I’m excited to share with you!
