Learn how to knit a scarf with this beginner-friendly pattern and video tutorial. This free pattern from Yay for Yarn will guide you through the entire process of making a simple yet beautiful scarf. You can use any smooth yarn of your choice. However, it’s recommended to start with a solid-colored yarn to clearly see your stitches. The pattern uses #5 Bulky Weight yarn, but you can use any yarn thickness you prefer, including #4 Medium/Worsted Weight yarn. The instructions provide both a pattern and a formula. That allows you to customize the size of your scarf. Adjust the width by changing the number of cast-on stitches and the length by stopping when you’re satisfied.
