We could all use a reminder now and then to slow down, breathe deeply, and practice gratitude. This sweet and playful scarf is a perfect opportunity to do just that!

All You Need Is… features a sequence of heart motifs offset by narrow garter stitch bands. Worked entirely using knit and purl stitches, this scarf is excellent practice for beginners, and a great quick project for more experienced knitters. Instructions for the heart motifs are given in both charted and written out formats.

This pattern is written to be accessible to everyone. If you’ve never picked up knitting needles before, you’ll find the instructions you need to understand all the steps in creating this scarf. If you’re a little more experienced, you can start at the pattern summary and move straight into starting your scarf.
