Since this is the season for giving, I created Joyeux Noël with all of you knitters in mind. Everyone deserves a free pattern around Christmas, and a scarf is the perfect item to wrap yourself up in holiday cheer.

Valley Yarns Amherst is 100% merino, super soft, and unbelievably inexpensive. It also shows stitches beautifully, so it’s a perfect yarn for this scarf.

Because it’s knit on US9’s, it works up in a flash, and though the stitch pattern is deceptively simple, it’s interesting enough to hold your attention.

Merry Christmas, from me to you!
