Pretty Summer Scarf - Easy Knitting Pattern For Beginners
by Ratchadawan Chambers
This scarf is as light as a feather. I hardly feel any weight when I put it on. I knitted
loosely on US # 9 (6mm) in striped using combination of beautiful bamboo/cotton yarn
fine mohair. Itʼs great scarf for summer but can also be worn all year round.
This pattern is inspired by a lady who sold me yarn during the Sheep & Wool Festival in
Maryland. She wore a very skinny scarf around her neck and it looked really nice on
her. She told me she made a good use of scrap yarn by turning it into a useful piece of
art. It was knitted in stripes of mohair and cotton/bamboo yarn similar to this pattern. I
bought several skeins of yarn from her shop including the exact yarn she used for her
scarf. I think I the lighter color of mohair would have looked a little bit better.
Here is the Summer Scarf Pattern Instruction and details;
Skill Level: Easy
Gauge: not important, When I check my gauge I got 4.5 sts per inches on needle # 9. It
got bigger after I blocked. So my scarf got little bit longer than I really wanted.
Finished Measurement: 5 inches by 60 inches
Materials:
1.50 g DK sport weigh yarn of your choice.
Cotton, linen and bamboo are great for
Summer scarf.
2.25 g kid mohair
3.29 inches knitting needle US #9 (6mm)
or size to your preference
4.Tapestry needle
Note: You can adjust your scarf length by
checking your yarn gauge and determine
how long your scarf should be. Cast on
stitches you need to make up for the
desired length. Or you can follow my
direction for a very long scarf.
Direction:
With DK yarn, CO 250 sts loosely. Begin
working on striped pattern as follows;
*With DK yarn, knit in garter stitch pattern
(knit all rows) for about an inch ending with the wrong side row.
Next row (right side): Change to Mohair yarn and knit in stockinette stitch pattern (knit
on the right side and purl on the wrong side) for another inch ending with the wrong side
row. Repeat from; * once more.
Change to DK yarn and finish off the last stripe in garter sts for one more inch. Bind off
loosely. Cut yarn and weave it behind work. Block piece if preferred. Be careful not too
over stretch it when blocking.
Note: I didnʼt cut any yarn off during the transitional work because the colors for both of
my yarns are well matched. I just carried both yarn over by knitting them together at the
first and the last stitches of each row.

There is something so delightful about baby feet. They are so small, impossibly pudgy and they have adorable little teeny tiny toes. Okay, sorry, I almost devolved into baby talk for a second there!
