Diagonal Garter Stitch Scarf

I finished knitting a scarf tonight ... the pattern is diagonal garter stitch. It was surprisingly an easy pattern, which I found here. It's about 5 feet long and soft and cozy.


Cast on 3 stitches. 

First Section - increases:
  • Row 1: KFB, knit to end, KFB.
  • Row 2: Knit all stitches.
  • Repeat rows 1 and 2 until there are 45 stitches on the needle.
You can adjust the width of the scarf by knitting more or fewer stitches. The finished edges of your beginning triangle (the two edges that do not have live stitches) give a close indication of how wide your scarf will be when complete.

Middle Section - main length of the scarf:
  • Row 1: KFB, knit to end, k2tog.
  • Row 2: Knit all stitches.
  • Repeat these two rows until you are nearly out of yarn.

Final Section - decreases:
  • Row 1: Ssk, knit to end, k2tog.
  • Row 2: Knit all stitches.
  • Repeat these two rows until there are 3 stitches left on the needle. Bind off.

When you complete the first section, weigh the bit of scarf you have completed. This will give you an approximation of how much yarn you need to complete the decrease section.
