A very easy pattern, great for beginners or using up relatively small amounts of yarn. It’s based on the classic triangle scarf/shawl concept, except you increase on both sides of every row, so the increase rate is doubled and scarf widens much faster. Every row is exactly the same, and you can just keep knitting until it’s the desired size or you run out of yarn.
Finished Measurements: 40 inches by 9 inches for a small scarf
Yarn: sample knit with Bernat Softee Chunky, using most of one skein
Needle Size: 10 US / 6 mm
Notes
As this is knit from the point out, it’s easily adaptable to any weight yarn.
Abbreviations
K = knit
st = stitch
YO = yarn over (increase)
Pattern
Cast on 3 stitches.
Row 1: K1, YO, knit to last st, YO, K1
Repeat this row until scarf is desired size or you run out of yarn.
Bind off VERY LOOSELY.
Fringe may be added if desired.
Patti says
I love the wide scarf pattern. I only wish I knew how much yarn is needed for the bind off row. Because pattern reads knit until you run out of yarn. I just don’t want to run out of yarn.
Jen says
For a bind-off, you’ll need a little more yarn than it takes to knit a row. You can roughly estimate that as three to four times the length of the row–I usually plan on four times for something like this because I’ll want to make the bind off loose.

can u show me how it is supposed to be worn
Jen says
Just the same way you’d wear any triangle scarf.
