Butterfly Stitch Knitted Scarf

I knitted a scarf to donate using a butterfly stitch pattern. I found the pattern here. Once you get the hang of making the butterfly, it's an easy pattern.


I used a Caron Anniversary Cake Special Edition (the colour is Merry Maximus) and 6.5mm needles. 

I cast on 23 stitches (multiples of 10 plus7 plus 3 border stitches).
  • Row 1 (wrong side): K1, P5, * with yarn in back (wyib) slip 5, P5 *, K1
