I love simple knit-purl stitch patterns, and was inspired to knit this scarf after perusing The Gansey Knitting Sourcebook by Di Gilpin and Shelia Greenwell. I was able to borrow the e-book through my local library system. Public libraries are a wonderful community resource! I think everyone should explore the services their local library provides, and offer what support they can to keep the system thriving.

The simple knit-purl texture of this design would work well with different weights of yarns—picture this knit in chunky yarn as a blanket. There are Notes in the pattern to help you resize this design in both length and width.

This is an easy pattern to knit, with the stitch patterns written out and charted for you. The required skills are:

  • cast on and bind off:
  • knit and purl.
