COZY PUMPKIN SPICE SCARF

Squishy, soft, cozy, and adorable infinity scarf. The pattern is based on the Seeded Rib (also called English Mob Rib) Stitch Pattern, so it's reversible and ideal for wrapping in. The scarf is wide enough to use it as a hood in case you need a little bit more warmth.

I picked fluffy alpaca mix yarn to make this wrap even more cozy. As with most of my scarf patterns, you can adjust the pattern to another yarn, change the size or length of the finished garment, and play with the color choices!

Pattern

CAST ON

For the stated width cast on 23 sts. using the long tail cast on method (or any other flexible cast on you like).

You can change the width of the scarf by casting on another number of stitches.To make the pattern work, pick a number divisible by 4 and add 3 more stitches: 16+3, 44+3, etc. (sample scarf is 20+3).

BODY OF A SCARF

To make edges of the scarf look more polished, we are going to slip the first stitch and to knit the last stitch of every row.

Row 1: sl1 wyif, k2, (p1,k3) 5 times.
Row 2: sl1 wyif, (p1, k3) 5 times, p1, k1.

Repeat these 2 rows until desired length.If you want your scarf to be longer, don’t forget that you’ll need more yarn. 

Stop after completing Row 2.

FINISHING

Bind off pretty loosely: k1, (slip st back to left needle, k2tog tbl) until 1 stitch is left. Video tutorial for this bind off: https://www.instagram.com/p/BV-czVJF2xN/

To make a usual scarf: cut yarn leaving approximately 4” / 10cm tail and pull it through the loop of the last stitch.

To make an infinity scarf: cut yarn leaving approximately 18” / 45cm tail and pull it through the loop of the last stitch. Sew the bind off and the cast on edges together using this tail and trying to keep the pattern aligned.

Weave in ends. Enjoy!
