Wide Triangle Scarf

September 13, 2009 by Jen

wide triangle scarf in blueA 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.

    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.

      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.

          Just the same way you’d wear any triangle scarf.
