Free Scarf Knitting Pattern
I have another free knit scarf pattern for you guys! This time, I thought I’d play around with knitting on the bias. If you haven’t heard of knitting on the bias, its just a fancy way of saying knitting a diagonal shape. This is done by increasing and decreasing the same number of stitches in a row so that the total stitch count remains the same, while allowing you to shape the ends of the fabric.

Size:

KFB: Knit in the front and back of the stitch (increase).
K2Tog: Knit two stitches together (decrease).

This scarf is knit on the bias (diagonally) by making decreases at the beginning, and increases at the end of every other row. By increasing and decreasing the same number of stitches, the total stitch count stays the same throughout, but shapes the scarf in a diagonal form.

What does back side mean for the serenity scarf?
Hi Frances, the back side is the side that would be facing down if you lay the scarf flat.
I am working on this scarf right now. Could a lighter weight wool or sock yarn be used for this for a dressier scarf?
Hi Marsha, I think that would look great!
Thanks for the reply. I had figured it out already It’s turning out beautifully.
Hello!
