Jumbo Knit Scarf

Need a project you can finish in a day or two? The Jumbo Knit Scarf is wonderfully soft and snuggly, and works up super fast. The featured scarf uses just one cake of Scheepjes Big Darling, worked flat in stocking stitch with a garter stitch border to keep the edges neat and prevent curling.

It measures 156cm (61.5in) by 20cm (8in), but you can easily make it longer, shorter, wider or narrower by adding or taking away stitches and rows. The velvety soft super-chunky yarn and 8mm needles mean your scarf grows quickly, making it a perfect cosy weekend project.

The simple pattern is available for free below.
