Posted by Cat on 15th Sep 2022

This pretty scarf pattern looks super complicated, but is actually an easy, fun knit. Perfect for in front of the T.V

The scallop pattern at the ends is really quite delightful.

King Cole Shine has glitter throughout the yarn, to give your scarf a magical sparkle.

Materials:

The above shades are:

Left: Smoothie

Right: Safari

4mm needles – either 1 pair, or a 50cm circular needle if you like to fit your knitting in a small bag.

Cast on 56 stitches.

The pattern is worked over 4 rows.

I cast mine off at the end of the second ball, and it measures 25cm x 160cm.
