I love texture knitting more than I love knitting with multiple colors. These 2 stitch patterns are both super easy (ALL KNIT!) and are squooshy and comfortable around the neck. I chose a pretty variegated yarn that looks great in these textures. (my yarn was from Knitpicks, Swish Tonal, "Canopy" was the color I believe)

Love the simple elegance of this scarf. What a great design! Thank you so much for the pattern. I'd love to try it with different yarn weights. Do you think the stitch definition would be good in a bulkier yarn? It'll be fun to experiment. --Judy in WY
Dear Anonymous,
I don't think the stitch definition would be any more/less using bulky yarn - prob the same. I would stick with the worsted though as otherwise I think your scarf might be too bulky.

Is there an error in row 9 as well as row 5?
Dear Anonymous,
Yes! You were right. I had k2 but it should have been k3 - thank you, I have now corrected it.
:)

Lovely .. hope to cast on tonight. Question .. very last row finishing instruction includes “kb”, but that stitch is not I the legend. Perhaps it should be “kfb”?
Thanks for another simple, fun pattern,
Michele
HI Michele,
Oops another typo - thanks for pointing out. It was a kfb, not kb.
:)

I am an experienced knitter! I am having a problem with row 9 of the set up rows. Up to the beginning and end of row 8 I am doing fine! Then when I get to the end of row 9 I seem to be missing a stitch! I have ripped out to the beginning of set up so many times that I am about to give up! I seem to be short one stitch to be able to k2tog and then k2tog tbl.
I really don't understand where I am making a mistake!!!
