(List of our Scarf Patterns)

Knit a Scarf!

Scarves are such a pleasant item to knit. Usually there are no increases or decreases to track. You cast on enough stitches for the size of scarf you are wanting, and then knit away in total bliss until it is done.  

The other wonderful thing about knitting a scarf  is the opportunity to try numerous knitting stitches. You can make a wonderful scarf with cables, texture stitches, lace or any combination. Knitting a scarf is really a knitter's holiday!

You will find patterns in our secure shopping cart for several beautiful scarves. SpinCraft Knitting Patterns are written to help you discover your own creativity. Try a few of our scarf suggestions, and before you know it, you'll be coming up with your own ideas for scarves.

We have only two main points to share about scarf knitting. First: use wonderful soft, natural fibers. A scarf is a perfect project to show off your handspun silk, cashmere or other exotic fiber. But most important, a scarf must be made from something that is soft on the neck. A scratchy scarf will never be worn!

Second: Seek out knit stitch patterns that do not curl up. This means that you will have to find stitches that are balanced on both sides. Stockinette stitch, which is knit on one side and purl on the other, will always curl. It is an example of a 100% unbalanced stitch. Garter stitch, which is knit on both sides, is an example of a 50% balanced stitch. It will never curl and is the same on both sides. 

Good choices are lace, cables, and knit/purl texture stitches.
