Knitting Scarves - Tips and Tricks

The possibilities for designing your scarf and making it truly unique are endless. Always keep in mind who you want it to be for. You can never go wrong with graphic patterns and natural colours. Examples of this are the boyfriend loop or universal loop. These colours and patterns are often chosen for men. If you want to knit a scarf for children, it can also be a little more colourful and contain unusual patterns. In the end, however, it can be said that with each of our patterns you can of course decide for yourself which colours of wool to choose and which pattern suits the recipient best.

What do I need to knit scarves?

For knitting scarves you need knitting needles of the right gauge (you can find out what these are on the introduction page of each tutorial) and the right wool (we will go into more detail on this in the next point). If you have chosen one of our patterns, it will also tell you exactly which accessories you might need.

Knitting Scarves - The Right Wool

When choosing the right wool, make sure that it keeps you warm and does not scratch. This is the case, for example, with wool with a high cotton or cashmere content. We can also recommend merino wool, as it is soft, keeps you cosy and warm and is still pleasant to wear on the skin even after repeated washing. Wool is also beneficial in snow and rain, as it repels dirt and water and can absorb up to 30% of its dry weight in moisture without feeling wet. Whichever wool you choose, you should make sure that the scarf is not washed too hot, so that the good quality is maintained.

Various knitting patterns

The patterns that emerge when knitting are both intentional and unintentional. It depends not only on which wool and needle you use, but also on whether you knit loosely or tightly.

The basic method of knitting is right-to-left knitting. The pattern that is created is already a real eye-catcher. A right-hand stitch is achieved by pulling the yarn from behind through the stitch lying on the needle. For a purl stitch, the thread is pulled through the stitch from the front, so that the thread lies on the front of the stitch.

Another of the well-known patterns is the cable pattern, which is especially popular with beginners. It can be knitted for simple works such as hats or scarves.

In the ear pattern, so called because of its resemblance to grain, there are different types such as the oat, wheat and barley stalk patterns. These hardly appear in the fashion world today and are therefore mainly used for traditional dresses.

The popular and well-known drop stitches are achieved by dropping individual stitches. The resulting pattern is holey and sheer and is therefore very wearable in summer.

When knitting a traditional costume pattern, elements such as pearl patterns, braids or diamonds often appear in natural colours such as grey, green and brown.

One of the finer works is the lace pattern. This is achieved with the help of a needle. Start in the middle and work outwards in an oval, square or round pattern. This is how the knitting pattern gradually develops.
