- Pattern for the scarf is by Stephanie Pearl-Mcphee and can be found online at:
www.yarnharlot....
For the scarf shown in the video, I used US size 10 needles and worsted weight 100% acrylic yarn (Medium 4; used ~6 oz). I cast on 30 stitches; finished scarf is 5 ft long. Links to my long-tail cast on video ( • How to do long tail ca... ) and binding off stitches video ( • How to cast off stitch... ).
Just finished knitting my very first scarf, with just a knit stitch the whole way through. Starting my second scarf with this pattern now! Thanks for the great and straightforward tutorial!
That's awesome, Grace!! Congrats on knitting your first scarf and may it be one of many to come😀. Enjoy knitting this one and reach out if you have questions! Happy New Year and happy knitting!
Great
I made a scarf for my father using your pattern . He LOVED IT , thank you so much ❤️😘🙏🏻
A very beautiful and simple to knit scarf.
Thank you so much. 😘
I’m going to try as I have been just knitting 2 ribs patterned scarf for the homeless.
Stay safe and healthy!
Love from June in Singapore. ❤
Thanks for the lovely comments, June! Makes me so happy to see my videos reaching out to a global audience. And even more happy to hear of your knitting scarfs for the homeless. That is so noble (I too donate my knitted stuff to homeless shelters and that truly fulfils me - so glad to see you also do this). Keep on knitting. Best wishes and stay blessed🤗
So happy to hear from you.
It’s very fulfilling indeed but some friends don’t understand why I cannot just buy the scarves and donate.
Lately I have learned how to knit hats, beanies and cowls in the round.
Will be giving them to the orphanage in Mongolia next month, the homeless in Chicago in December and a local charity event organized to raise funds for drug addicts in July.
Today I’m going to try knitting your 1-row repeat scarf for a cowl.
I’ve cast on 46 stitches for the height and will continue knitting until I get to the circumference required. Then cast off and join the 2 ends together.
Hopefully it works. 🙏
This is a wonderful, easy pattern for beginners! I made several beautiful scarves for Christmas presents. After awhile, you can knit so quickly because it is a one row repeat and you don't have to think about it too much. Thank you for your great instructional videos...I could listen to your voice all day....lol
Thanks for the sweet comments! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching my videos. Happy knitting 😊
Understated and elegant. Really. I love simplicity that lends itself to value enhanced projects. Thank you for your presentation. I'd like to make this right now.
Thank you, Reava! Really hope you enjoy knitting this project. Happy New Year!!
Hello mam!
I just finished my scarf with this design and it turned out to be so pretty!
I wish I could share the pics with you.
I'm so happy!
Thank you so much!
That's great, Apoorva! So happy to hear it came out great. I can just picture it 😊 If you are feeling adventurous, check out my latest video on knitting this same one-row repeat pattern in stripes (th-cam.com/video/7AfWeyxpdM0/w-d-xo.html)! Perhaps you can try that for your next project. Thanks for watching my videos and hoping you subscribed. Best wishes!
Hello this is Marie in Brittany ! I am French and I live in France, first of all I want to apologize for my bad English ! I knit this scarf in another (easier) way but it gives the same result ! Put on a number of stitches NOT even (important) ; Then knit 2, pearl 2, till the end of the row, but knit the last stitch on the needle (NOT PEARL !!!) Repeat always this row. And you will see the result. SAME as your scarf. Many kind greetings from France !
Hello, Marie! Your English is tres bien! (better than the very little French I can speak and understand). Thanks for watching my video and the excellent suggestion of this other stitch! I tried it and it looks very similar to the scarf and so easy as well. Would it be okay with you if I were to do a video on the stitch you mentioned (I will of course give you credit for sharing the stitch with me)? Please let me know. Merci beaucoup et bonne chance!
Thank you! I lived in France and that's when I started knitting again and LOVE it now!
Thanks so much, Shermane! Best wishes 😃
I am a newbie in knitting and was looking for a good simple pattern and found this one. I tried it with exactly the same kind of yarn and it turned out very good. Thank you so much.
That's awesome, Trupti! Welcome to the knitting community! So happy your project worked out great. Thanks for watching my video and hope you subscribe and try out other projects. Best wishes!😀
This was perfect timing as I have almost finished my scarf and was looking for a simple pattern that is easy to pick up and put down. Thank you so much!
My pleasure! So glad you found my video and best wishes for your project. Would love to see your scarf pics (can share them to knittycatsknits@gmail.com)🤗
You are so dear to me, when it comes to your easy video of this scarf! There's something about making your own scarf, and that you could wear it too! That verigated Yarn you used---made your scarf looked beautiful! I'll bet you have a lot of scarves that you made...I love watching your videos, and your really cute accent! You've inspired me to try this out-this is so easy! Thank you so much for your heartwarming video!.
Thanks for the wonderful comments, Patrice! It is thanks to supporters like you that I am inspired to keep making and posting videos. So glad you find them useful and hoping you enjoy knitting this scarf😊
Thanks dear. I also love to knit and crochet the scarves for my friends and my children. This is very simple and good design. My next project. Thanks. From India.
My pleasure, Gurminder! I hope you enjoy knitting this stitch and best wishes for your project. Thanks so much for watching from my beloved 🇮🇳!
Thank you so much! I tried following this pattern by reading it, and also watching two other videos but couldn't get the hang of it. This was super informative and you went slow enough for me (haha) to follow and I think I've got the hang of it now. Thanks again!
Awesome, tiye alex! Hope enjoy knitting it. Thanks for watching😊 Cheers!
Much easier if you just k2 p2 with all rows, comes out looking almost the same and much easier
I love this stitch. Working on my long scarf can't wait to finish it. thank you as always
Awesome! Thanks for watching and best wishes for your project!😀
Thanks very much for your great tutorial! It's a very easy and pretty pattern that is simple to remember and looks lovely❤
I love this stitch so much, I'm knitting a scarf now with it. Thank you.
Glad you liked it, Sal. I am sure the scarf will come out great. Thanks for watching and best wishes!😊
I think this would make a good stitch for fingerless gloves ! Can’t wait to make scarf first! Thank you so much for this easy pattern!!
Thanks, Suzanne! Enjoy knitting the scarf. Fingerless gloves sounds like a great idea. Have not knit this pattern in the round, but will try it out and will share on a video once I have a good pattern. Thanks so much for watching and best wishes!😊
Don’t have to knit in the round. Just knit a rectangle and seam, leaving an opening for the thumb!
Hi! I tried this pattern with a variegated yarn and another with just a single color for swatches. They both turned out beautifully! For me, the single color yarn brought out the pattern better and the variegated yarn "hid" the beautiful details. Either way it is a beautiful pattern and I look forward to making a new scarf accordingly. Thank you for sharing and I just subscribed!
That's so great! I agree that the single color works well to show the pattern, which produces such a beautiful look despite being so simple. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! Hoping to post a lot more videos in the new year. Best wishes😊
Knittycat's Knits do you have a pattern for slippers made like the scarf
Sorry, Jean. I don't have a pattern for slippers yet. Something for me to work on next year; will share and do a video once I have one. Thanks for watching my video and best wishes😊
Excellent tutorial. I am going to try this right now, (will keep me busy through lockdown.) Thank you
Thanks, Maxine! Enjoy knitting it. And if you want to try knitting this in colors, check out my video on that at th-cam.com/video/7AfWeyxpdM0/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for watching and happy knitting during lockdown. Stay safe😊
I started the first 2 rows with the knit stitch and it made it easier to get into the back loop and still looks lovely thank u for the video
Thanks for watching and sharing about the modification. Glad it worked 😊 Best wishes!
Doesn't EVERY row start with the knit stitch according to the pattern, including the first two rows? What did you do that was different from what the pattern calls for?
Hello, i made a scarf for a friend using this pattern and maybe will always using this pattern to make many other scarfs and since i didn't really into all garter stitch as it's the basic one hehe. My question is do you get many holes using this pattern? It's not a yarn over (?) Or u left one yarn not stitch. It just i feel like it doesn't really tight (?) Like when you look at the scarf, it has many holes. Is it really like that for the results? Or my way of knitting is wrong (?) Or too loose or tight? But i always tight it when knitting. I'm just curious because my results is like that 😩 i also use a needle size 4 and it's double pointed needle and cotton yarn. So, if you have any answer for this question, please answer. Thank you❤️
Also thank you for the tutorial ❤️
Thanks for trying this pattern and reaching out about the question. Actually, there should not be any holes in this pattern, since there are no yarn overs or k2tog, etc. It may be just loose knitting (or not having enough tension) or could be that you accidentally do some yarn over, which may cause the holes to form. Or if your yarn is too thin and needle size is big, then can cause knitting to appear loose and with holes. But if you are using US size 4, then that is a thin needle and, depending on cotton yarn thickness, would not think that yarn/needle is the issue (not sure of your cotton yarn thickness but if it is very thin, like crochet thread, then using a US size 4 needle may cause holes to appear and you would need very thin needles, like US size 0 or 1). Your scarf may still look good though, even with holes 😊. But if you really don't like the look, then would suggest trying again and checking yarn and needle size (to be sure they match well) and then making sure you follow pattern as shown in video). Hope this helps but let me know if you questions. Thanks so much for watching and best wishes😊
@@KnittycatsKnits thank you so much for your reply ❤️
The cotton yarn is for size 4 needles but the thickness is 4 ply (?) If I'm not wrong and it's not a bulky one. But maybe because the needle is size 4 and the yarn is not that thick so it creates holes. It still okay tbh although there's holes 😹. I'll try again for my other scarf using this pattern! Thank you so much!!❤️
Great video with clear instruction for the pattern thank you but could you be more specific regarding what type of wool to use and how much for an average scarf please - i am a new to knitting and dont know how to work out what i need to buy for this scarf - thank you in advance .
Thanks, Luke! For an average scarf that is about 7-8 in width and about 60 inches (5 ft) in length, you would need about 6-8 oz (180-240 g) of standard yarn (worsted weight - medium yarn, Red Heart Supersaver or Caron brand yarns). If you use a lighter weight (skinnier) yarn, then may need a bit more. The needles size to use is typically mentioned on yarn label but if not, US size 7-9 would work well for worsted weight (medium) yarns. Hope this helps but let me know if you have more questions. Hope you enjoy knitting this scarf. It is super easy and will look great. Thanks for watching and best wishes😊
You said you cases on 3 stitches? I’m going to start this project tomorrow! THANK you!
Hi Rachel, for the scarf in my video, I cast on 30 sts. More details (needle size and yarn) are in video description. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes for the project!😀
I just made my husband one in black and he loves it. 👍🏻💖👍🏻 Vickie
That's awesome, Vickie! It makes a wonderfully warm scarf. Thanks for watching and subscribing! Best wishes😊
Thank you so much for this easy pattern. I chose this as my first knitting pattern to make a scarf. I am not sure how to cast off to finish the scarf. Since the pattern uses knit, purl... should I use all one type of stitch or what do you suggest? Also, I don't know what to do with the long tail from the beginning cast on. Thank you again for this very easy to follow video!
So glad you tried this pattern! For the cast off, I would recommend just a regular cast off (don't have to bind off in pattern). If you need a refresher on cast off, check out my video at th-cam.com/video/gjGRAN6dutk/w-d-xo.html. Also, for the cast on (and cast off) tails, you can trim them to about 6 in long and then weave them in; see my video on that at th-cam.com/video/mh0JKJTtC6g/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and best wishes😃
@@KnittycatsKnits Thank you so much for the quick reply! I really am excited to finish my first knitted scarf and all because you made it so easy with this great tutorial. I will check out your other video to get this finished. Your video presence and explanations are excellent
My pleasure, Lynn! I am sure this will be the first of many scarfs to come😊
I think I'll knit a scarf it looks simple and easy to follow thanks for uploading this 😉
My pleasure, Tansley! Hope you enjoy knitting it (or may already have completed it; I've been much delayed in responding to comments 😊). Appreciate the feedback and TYSM for watching.
Very nice directions...clear and simple! Thank you!
Thanks so much. Glad you liked it😊
I am knitting a scarf using 10-1/2 size needle and #5 bulky yarn. I am knitting at the tip of the needles and I am
pulling back my purl sitches and still am getting holes in my rows. Can you help me correct this, I have started
over many, many times. Thanks
Sorry, Rosa! I've been delayed in responding to comments and just getting around to it. I am not sure I can help with the issue that much. The only thing I can think off is that perhaps your tension (how tight you hold yarn) is a little loose. Can try knitting it a bit tighter, especially tugging on yarn as you switch from a purl to knit in the pattern and that might help. Let me know if try this and hoping it works. Thanks so much for watching my videos and trying the patterns! Best wishes 😊
This looks like the same stitch from a knitting book, it's called "Mistake Rib" and done in 1 row and very simple. It's a multiple of 4 plus 3, and you :K2, P 2, and repeat to the last 3 stitches, then you end with :K2, P1. The first few rows look strange, but by the 5th you can see the pattern, very nice for scarfs or hats or warm cardigans
Thanks for this info, Sigrid! I had not seen the Mistake rib pattern, but will surely try it out. Cheers! 😊
The mistake rib is done with slip stitches, so you aren’t knitting through back loops. I’ve made a couple of items with the Mistake Rib and it looks at a glance like this, but it is less complicated for someone like myself who isnt always the best at counting hundreds of stitches.
I have knit the Mistake Rib pattern before and it is stretchy like most ribbing patterns. One of the desirable effects of the One Row pattern is that it stays flat and is stable. I would stick with the original One Row pattern.
I have been trying this pattern and would love to make a scarf but I am having a problem
with the knit in back stitch. Mine does not does not come out like yours. I have a
straight line on the right side of the stitch. Do you know what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks a lot, you are great. I watch you every day.
Hi Rosa, sorry you are having a hard time with this pattern. The only thing I can think of is is your stitch count is correct. It needs to be a multiple of 4 stitches + 2 stitches (eg, 26 sts, which is 4 x 6 = 24 + 2 sts = 26 sts). How many stitches have you cast on for the scarf?
@@KnittycatsKnits I have 34 stitches on my needle. On the knit in the
back stitch I do not get the braided I guess I would call it like you
show on the video, I get a line on the one side of the stitch, Thank you
for answering me, I appreciate it. I just started over again an am now
trying to keep the stitchs closer to the tip of the needle as I knit them.
See if this helps. I'll let you know, I do not know why it looks likeit does
but it does not show up like yours.
@@rosaseifert5357 Your stitch count is correct for the pattern. So I am not sure why it doesn't look like the video (note that the scarf I showed in video was knitted with a variegated yarn, so it may give a slightly different look than if you knit with a solid color). I had posted another video with this same one row repeat pattern but showing how to knit stripes with it. You can that out at th-cam.com/video/7AfWeyxpdM0/w-d-xo.html. The actual knitting of the 1-row rep pattern starts at 4:15 in the video. Maybe that might you to knit it and get the same look. Let me know 😊
@@KnittycatsKnits Thank you so much for helping me. I think it might be my yarn. I
normally do not use this yarn bur could not
find variegated in what i usually use so I had to get red heart ombre and I usually use caron yarn but they did not have variegated. Do you think I could use mandala yarn? I started it by knitting closer to the point of the needle and it seems better though. Thanks again for all you help.
Rosie
Happy to help and great that it is working now, Rosa! The Mandala yarn should work and will naturally produce horizontal stripes of varying length (I really like that effect). It is a slightly thinner yarn than worsted weight but I don't think it will be hard for you to knit with. Hope you enjoy knitting the scarf and you can share to my Instagram (knittycatsknits)😀
Easy to follow instructions. Will add to my project collection binder. Thank you
Great, Bonnie! Hope you enjoy knitting the project. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribe! Best wishes😊
Hi deepu mavshi just got your video recommendation to me on TH-cam while I was browsing casually 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 on 11th August 2023 19:00 pm evening time.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow, Roni! That's so cool. Thrilled it showed up on your feed and thanks for letting me know 🤗. Been ages since I posted a video but hoping to do one soon😊
Thanks very much for your tutorial. I just have 1 query . I always use 2 salvage stitches at each end of my work. Can I use the 2 end stitches in your pattern for this purpose (only for the edges)?
@@queencleo1151 Yes I think so, as long as you still count them as part of the pattern ☺️ Thanks so much for watching and best wishes!
Can it be made on circular needles
I am curious to see how the beginning and end look like compared. I find that when I do the regular cast on and cast off, the beginning and end do not match, that's why I do the invisible cast on and work backwards for my beginning row and work it like a cast off. But the invisible stitch is such a hassle; on the other hand, I am a bit of a perfectionist and I want the beginning and end to match, so I make the sacrifice.
Superb pattern..I am planning to do this
Thanks, Kiran! Glad you liked it and best wishes for your project🤗
Hi there, love your explanation. Could I do a border of say 3 knit stitch on the sides and 3 rows on the bottom . I do not want it to curl!
Thanks, Cindy! Sure, you can add a 3-st knit border on either side (and 3 rows on the bottom). Just be sure that the stitches in the middle of the border stitches are a multiple of 4 st + 2. So, if knitting a scarf and you wish to cast on 26 sts (x of 4 + 2), then can add on another 6 sts (for a 3 st border on either side) and cast on 29 sts. Just as an example. In my experience, when I knit the scarf (or even recently when I used this one-row stitch to make an intarsia swatch with different colors), it didn't curl on the sides or at the bottom, so you can try to knit it without the border, if you wish. Either way, I think it will look very pretty. For the stripped (intarsia version) of this stitch, check out my video at: th-cam.com/video/7AfWeyxpdM0/w-d-xo.html. Best wishes!
@@KnittycatsKnits Thank you so much for your informative response! Really appreciated.
This pattern does not curl on the sides. The finished piece looks very nice when knitted precisely according to the pattern. I think adding a border would take away from the pattern itself.
Hi there, I've just come across your site, and as a new knitter, you're very easy to follow! ! If you should have an EASY pattern for a toddler poncho, I would be thrilled! !
Thank you so much and I look forward to more of your tutorials!
CHEERS!
Deborah A Thanks so much! I don't have a toddler poncho pattern yet, but would love to try designing one and will definitely share it. Thanks for watching my videos 😊

Knittycat's Knit
hello, I am very new to knitting, thanks so much for this pattern, please what kind of yarn is that? thanks in advance..
Hi Nicole, completely missed responding to your question. This yarn was just a Red Heart SuperSave yarn (variegated). I can't recall the exact shade but it was a black/grey mix (as seen on video). It is a 100% acrylic yarn, medium weight (worsted weight). Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and hope you give this one a try. Best wishes!
Nyc. How many stiches I need to cast for a scarf for my husband.?
Thanks, Shiney! For a scarf, the typical width is about 6.5-7 inches. Knowing how many stitches will depend on the type of yarn and size of needles you are using. The best way is to cast on a few stitches (multiple of 4 sts plus 2, so maybe 14 sts) and knit a small sample in the pattern. Then measure width. Depending on that can determine stitches to cast For scarf For example, if your sample measures 3 inches wide, then you can cast on about 30 sts (14 x 2 =28 plus 2 sts). Just be sure that your stitches are a multiple of 4 sts and then add a sts. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes😊
When you cast off do you need to follow the pattern or use a regular cast off ?
Hi Beverly, I just did a regular cast off, which looked just fine. But you could cast off in pattern if you like. Either way will work😊
@@KnittycatsKnits Thank you for getting back to me so quickly I appreciate it. Also this is a Great tutorial I like the way you explain everything which makes it so much easier to do.
Use this pattern to make a prayer shawl
hello! what brand and color yarn did you use for the gray scarf?
Hi Daisy, I used worsted weight 100% acrylic yarn (Medium 4; used ~6 oz). Can't recall exact brand but think it may have been the Red Heart yarn (variegated; was a mix of gray and black). I think the pattern may be more eye-catching with a solid color yarn but thinking I probably just used what I had on hand. Still, was quite happy with the way it turned it out. Thanks for watching and best wishes😃
Looks beautiful 😊
Thanks, Patricia! Best wishes😊
Nice simple video thank you I do have one question you only showed one row sew are all the rows exactly the same and if you end on a knit do you begin with knit also?
Hi Angie, yes every row is knit exactly the same way. Just remember that the total stitches cast must be a multiple of 4 stitches plus 2 (eg, 38, which would be 9 x 4 = 36 plus 2). As long as you have that stitch count, then each row knit up in the same way as shown in video will produce that beautiful pattern. Hope you give it a try. Thanks for watching and best wishes😃
Knitting instructions start at 3:00
Thanks you saved my 2minutes why people talk so much anyways nice scarf video if to the point
(^_^)
No dear start 3:26
thanks
Very nice scarf and easy to knit. How much total yarn (oz or grams) is required to make a scarf of 60 inches length, with 30 stitches.
Thanks, Swagata! For knitting this particular scarf for the dimensions you mentioned, if you use a similar yarn like I used (medium or worsted weight yarn), then I expect about 8 oz (240 g) should be enough (may wish to get 10 oz or 300 g to be on the safer side). Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes if you try this project (:
@@KnittycatsKnits Thanks so much for the response. I have already started the knitting and it's coming out very well! I bought enough yarn to cover me for this project and more. Nice design for a beginner!
So glad to hear you got started. Hope you enjoy knitting the scarf. If after knitting this, you want to try out this pattern in different colored stripes, check out my other video (th-cam.com/video/7AfWeyxpdM0/w-d-xo.html). Happy knitting😃
Great video indeed. How much yarn will be needed to make this scarf? I
Thanks, Nirupama! Regarding yarn, it would depend on the type of yarn, needle size , and the desired length of the scarf. In general, if using medium weight (worsted weight) yarn and making a scarf about 6-7 in wide and 4-5 ft long, you would need about 8-10 oz (240-300 g) of yarn for this pattern. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes😊
Excellent demo. Will try it right away. Thank you.
Thanks, Jai! Hope you enjoy knitting it. Best wishes 😊
I used 6.5 mm knitting needles for mine and casted on 20
For this pattern you are supposed to cast on a number that's divisible by 4, then add 2. So casting on 20 would not work. You'd have to cast on 22 stitches, 20 +2 =22. Since 20 is divisible by 4, then you add 2 more stitches to give you a total of 22.
Would this pattern work for a throw blanket? Thanks!
Yes, definitely. Just be sure that the total number of stitches are a multiple of 4 st + 2 for the pattern to work. If you wish to add a border on either side (and top and bottom), then just add on those stitches to the overall stitch count. Hope this helps but let me know if you have questions. Thanks for watching and best wishes🤗
Thanks so much for this. As you say - simple but looks complicated. I really loved your tip as to keeping track as well. I would no doubt have had to make a chart as you said you used to do. : )
+Mary Ellen Millbranth Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my video and subscrbing😊
How many stitches do I need to knit men's muffler 😊
Hi Shompa, for a scarf/muffler (men's or women's), the typical width is about 6.5-7 inches. Knowing how many stitches will depend on the type of yarn and size of needles you are using. The best way is to cast on a few stitches (multiple of 4 sts plus 2, so maybe 14 sts) and knit a small sample in the pattern. Then measure the width. Depending on that can determine stitches to cast. For example, if your sample measures 3 inches wide, then you can cast on about 30 sts (14 x 2 = 28 plus 2 sts). Just be sure that your stitches are a multiple of 4 sts and then add 2 sts. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes😊
How would I do this is on a circular needle, would it be possible?
Hi Sharon, good question and sorry for my delayed response. To knit this on a circular needle, it ends up becoming a 2-row pattern with slight differences in the stitches, but still pretty easy. Cast on a multiple of 4 sts, then joining in the round, for row 1 do *K1, P1, K2, rep from * to end of row. For row 2, do *K1, P3, rep from * to end of row. Repeating rows 1 & 2 should give you a similar look as the one row scarf. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching my video and happy knitting😊
Thanks so much!
What yarn would you recommend I wanted something soft and bouncy type of scarf rather then tight and flat knitted scarf?
Good question. I would recommend a wool-acrylic blend or even a cotton acrylic blend. A full acrylic yarn may also work, such as the Caron Simply Soft, which is a softer than most 100% acrylic yarns. Also knitting with a size larger than typically used for the yarn you use will make a looser and hopefully bouncer fabric. If you want something super plush, then the Bednar Velvet yarn will work well (keep tension loose if you use this yarn). Hope this helps. Best wishes and happy holidays!😀
I tried this patteen but I dont like the edges. I see some patterns where they just put the needle throught the first stich and that creates a neat edge. I don’t know how to adjust this pattern tho.
Hi and sorry for my delay in responding. For neater edges, try slipping first stitch and knitting last stitch through back loop. Have shown this technique in the Half Brioche stitch I just posted (th-cam.com/video/WNJCru5qdWo/w-d-xo.html). Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes!🤗
It looks like you wrap the yarn around twice when you knit the last stitch of the row.Is that correct?
Hi Tom, great catch! Actually it is just one wrap, just a regular knit, on that last stitch. On the video, my first wrap didn't catch on the needle, so had to do it again, which makes it seem like I wrapped it around twice. But it is just a regular knit stitch. Thanks for watching my video. Best wishes! 😊
Dear Mam
If we make rib 1k 1P one row then on opposite we make mistake while making rib in purl we knit and in knit stitch we purl how to know that we purl or knit.
Thanks

Would you please let me know how many skeins of yarn you used to make your 5 ft scarf using the #10 needles? Thank you and I really appreciate your videos. Very helpful.💁
Hi Patricia, good question. For the scarf shown in video, I used about 6 oz (180 g) of yarn with US size 10 needles if I recall, it was all in just one skein of a Red Heart or ion Brand yarn. That should give you a scarf about 5 ft long (and about 6-7 inches wide). Hope that helps. Thanks for watching my videos. Do spread the word and best wishes with the project😊
Knittycat's Knits Thanks for your prompt response. I am looking forward to trying this project and appreciate so much your easy instructions. I’m a beginner knitter and find your instructions to be easy to understand. A lot of other channels are not that easy to understand. Wishing you a very Happy New Year and I hope you continue your videos. Pat
@@patriciaeisert8483 Thanks, Pat! And a very happy new year to you too!!
I'm not sure about the back loop, it is only the way to take the stitch? I can't really see on the video. Can someone help me? please!! Thanks
Good question. To get the texture in the pattern, you have to knit the stitch through the back loop. Actually it is not too bad to knit. You would insert the needle just like you normally do but instead of inserting it in the front loop, you insert it into the back loop. Sorry if it's not that visible for you in the video but once you try it, hopefully you will not find it difficult. Thanks for watching and best wishes!😊
thank you very good video im on to making one now
Thanks, Carol! Glad you are trying the stitch. Best wishes for the project!😊
@@KnittycatsKnits my skarf is coming out great. can you tell me how i can make this into a aphgan? do i just mae long rows and sew them together ?
That's great to hear, Carol! To make an afghan, the easiest way is to knit it up in one piece. So you would just need to cast on more stitches. Can knit up a small swatch first with the yarn and needles that you wish to use to determine gauge (or if you are planning to use same yarn/needles as scarf, then can use scarf itself as gauge). Then cast on those many stitches. For an afghan you will likely need to cast on more than 100 stitches and so will also need longer needles (best to use a 24 or 36-inch circular needle; if you have to buy one, suggest the longer one). The other way of making individual strips and joining them (seaming) can also work (especially to knit strips in diff colors) but seaming may be cumbersome. There is a way of knitting these different strips via intarsia knitting. Gives me an idea for a video. Stay tuned and will plan to post it in the next week or two!😊
I checked out the 2-color video. That's a 4 row pattern. Can you change colors in the 1 row pattern?
Hi Judith, actually, I don't have a 2-color video for this one-row pattern. Were you instead asking about a different pattern video? For this 1-row pattern, I think you can change colors and you would still just keep doing the same 1-pattern (I would at least keep the same color for at least 2 rows though, so the pattern can form for that row; can use multiple colors and form a stripey pattern). This give me an idea and I might actually try this out with leftover yarns (:
Hi there, perfect pattern for a quick scarf, is there a matching pattern for an adult hat... Making these for charity
Thanks, Corky. I don't know of a hat pattern for this, but think I could design one. Do you typically knit hats in the round (is my preferred way) or in the flat (and then seamed)? It's great to know that you knit them for charity and I would love to provide you with a pattern and a tutorial, if I can do so. Let me know. Thanks for watching my video 😊
@@KnittycatsKnits that would be so great if you could do that, I typically knit in the round for hats... We are knitting for our police department as they requested scarves and hats to hand out to the homeless when they come in contact.
@@fuzztop46 That's such a great cause, Corky! I searched a bit and actually found a free pattern online, which uses this one row pattern for a hat in the round. Check it out at : www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/one-row-hat. I will still try to design one of my own, but this one looks very nice and you may wish to try it out. Thanks again for watching my video and for sharing your knitting talents for helping those in need. Best wishes!😊
I like your video, your voice is very nice! :)
Sinistra Mc Kittycat Thank you😊 And thanks for watching the video! Glad you liked it.
Sinistra Mc Kittycat what size needles or does it matter
I have 10ply wool and want to make a muffler for adult with 9 mm needle. How many stitches should I cast?
Hi Vandana, your wool and needle size are big and so thinking you will need fewer stitches (maybe 18 or 22) than shown in video. The best way to determine the number of stitches though is by making a small swatch with the pattern (as mentioned in video starting at 1.10 min). Suggest casting on only 10 stitches with your wool and the 10 mm needles and do the pattern for about 10 rows. Then measure the width of the piece. If it measures, say 2 inches, then you know you will need to cast on 30 st (3× 10 st) to get a width of 6 in. As long as the final number of stitches you cast is a multiple of 4 plus 2 sts, the pattern will work. For an adult muffler, a 6-8 in width would be good. Hope this helps and let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching my video and best wishes😊
@@KnittycatsKnits thanks for replying back so quickly. Will surely try.
Hello, just subscribed to your site. Your patterns are easy to follow as you explain each step very clearly. Question on this video, how many stitches did you cast on to make this scarf? Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thank you from Phoenix Arizona .
Suchitra Roy Thanks for watching and subscribing, Suchitra! I cast on 30 stitches eith US size 10 needles (6 mm). I have more details in the drop down (description ) field under the video (if you click on the little dropdown triangle). Let me know if you have more questions. Happy knitting!😊
Knittycat's Knits Thank you for responding so quickly.
are there certain brand name yarns you like to use?
Hi Laurie, good question. For 100% wool yarns (or high percentage wool blends), I like to Knit Picks Wool of the Andes yarn or Paton's (for socks). For more economical yarn (mostly 100% acrylic), I like the Lion Brand yarns (like Mandala) and also the Loops and Threads yarn. For cotton yarns for household projects (like dishcloths), I use Sugar n Lily or Peaches & Cream yarn.
Very nice and asy stitch thank you from egypt❤
Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for watching and best wishes!🤗💐
Very helpful and lovely scarf thank you so much!!! ~~~Jo
Thanks, Jo!😃
How much yarn is required for 24/72 inch size of shawl
Hi Rajish, good question. Actually this would depend on several factors such as the yarn that you are selecting, the needle size, and the tension with which it is knit (also the last factor is probably contributing the least). Typically, if you used medium weight 4 (worsted weight yarn). Check out this link which shows approx measures (in yards) of yarn according to weight of the yarn: support.lionbrand.com/support/solutions/articles/17000035213-how-much-yarn-do-i-need-to-make-a-. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching my video and best wishes (:

the provided link is not correct
Thanks for the info. It was still working when I checked it just now. However, I have deleted existing link and added it again. Hope it works. Thanks😊
Funny but I did teach myself how to knit and the right knitting stitch I make it like your third stitch
Can use a size 8 needle,to make a scarf
Hi Paula, sure you can use size 8 needles to knit a scarf, with this or other patterns. Would suggest casting on a few stitches with your yarn on the size 8 needles to see how many stitches to cast on (see video between 1.10 and 3.00 min). Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes😊
How many St's for 30cms
Good question, Rosalie! It actually depends on the yarn you are using and needle size. The best way to know number of stitches is to knit a small swatch/sample. For this one-row repeat pattern, suggest casting on 10 sts for the sample (which will be a multiple of 4 sts plus 2 sts, so the pattern will work). Please see my figuring out gauge video at th-cam.com/video/OcH0elMUdxo/w-d-xo.html. Hop that helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes🤗
Thumbs Up!! Nice work indeed,.. love the pattern very well,.. copy it down,.. in fact I'm doing this pattern now,.. well explain... 😁😊👍💕💜💛
Thanks for the lovely comments, Connie! Glad you liked it and are doing the pattern. Happy knitting😊
Slip the first stitch for a neater edge
I love this!
Thanks, Janet 😊
I want to learn how to do the Norwegian pearl (yarn stays in back) because I don't knit well anyway and "yarn forward" just complicates things. 🤣
I am not familiar with that technique but would love to learn it and so will look for it. Thanks for watching and for this idea! Best wishes😊
can i have the written pattern?
Hi Lily, the written pattern can be found at: www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2006/10/12/one_row_handspun_scarf.html.
I've finished my scarf. It came out perrrfectly. Thank you very much.
Can you teach us to knit a triangle shawl, please.
That's awesome, Angela! So happy you enjoyed the project. I only have one video so far on triangle shawls (th-cam.com/video/qhytA6nYbCM/w-d-xo.html) and it uses a lacy pattern. I am hoping to work on some simpler versions of the triangular shawl, exploring techniques such as knitting top down vs bottom up (like my current video). You can check out the lacy triangle shawl at the link above and reach out for questions (unfortunately, Ravelry upload did not work when I tried it for that shawl, but have provided pattern in description and showed detailed steps in video). Thanks for watching and your lovely comments! Best wishes😊
@@KnittycatsKnits thanks a ton. I'm onto the Chevron blanket now for which I've put 210 cast-ons. Hope that will work. I'll let you know whenever I finish it ☺☺☺
@@vitg7043 Great! Yes, 210 sts will work with my variation shown in blanket video (multiple of 16 + 18). Enjoy knitting the blanket. I just started knitting a lacy zigzag pattern blanket. May take me a while to finish, but loving the knitting journey😊
Hello girls! How long did you make the scarves?
+Stela Shiderova Hi Stella, my scarf was about 5 ft (60 inches) in length. Long enough to wrap once around neck and still have a nice portion laying in the front. Thanks for watching my video! Best wishes😊
Very nice
