The One More Chapter scarf features a 12-row repeat knit and purl stitch pattern. It’s completely reversible! And, it’s very easy to knit for a confident knitter. After a few inches of knitting you may find you don’t need to refer to the written directions… making this a great on-the-go project!

The repeating geometric stitch pattern reminds me of chapters in a book. Anyone who enjoys reading a great book knows the feeling of wanting to read one more chapter… when you simply have to know what happens next. As I write this, today is the last day of 2024.  We all share in the experience of marking the end of one year and the beginning of another. When the calendar turns to January 1st… so begins one more chapter… and the discovery of what happens next.

This stitch pattern is also featured in the In This Chapter blanket knitting pattern.

DIRECTIONS FOR FOUR (4) SIZES:
Approximate sizes after blocking…

Narrow Scarf: 6.5” wide x 69” long
Medium Scarf: 9” wide x 69” long
Wide Scarf: 10” wide x 69” long
Wrap / Shawl: 16” wide x 71” long

Any of the sizes may be made longer (or shorter) by adding (or subtracting) pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 2” to the length of the project. Pattern includes estimates for additional yardage needed to make each size longer.

WORSTED #4 WEIGHT YARN:

Narrow Scarf: 410 - 430 yards
Medium Scarf: 570 - 590 yards
Wide Scarf: 630 - 650 yards
Wrap / Shawl: 1050 - 1100 yards

Stitch pattern looks attractive with solid color yarns, as well as gently variegated, hand dyed colorways.

For the wide scarf shown, I used 3 skeins of Urth Harvest Worsted in the ‘Thyme’ (gray) colorway.

The pattern may also be used with slightly lighter or heavier weight yarns. Select the needle size that gives the best appearance for your yarn. Finished size and amount of yarn needed may vary depending on yarn choice and gauge.

GAUGE:

Pattern stitch with US size 7 needles: approximately 20 stitches & 25 rows = 4”

I used US size 7 knitting needles. Choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.

Though exact gauge is not essential, this stitch pattern will look best with fairly tight stitches. A significantly different gauge may require more (or less) yarn.

NEEDLES:

Project is worked flat, in one piece on straight or circular knitting needles.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy

You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends.

Blocking of finished knitting is recommended.

This pattern uses standard U.S. knitting terms.

Written pattern with row by row instructions.
