The Thoughts of You scarf design features a 10-row repeat knit and purl stitch pattern that creates a reversible geometric design. It’s very easy to knit! After a few inches of knitting you may find you don’t need to refer to the written directions… making this a great on-the-go project!

Whether it’s just an ordinary day, a time filled with challenges or the happiest of times… it’s easy to show you are thinking of someone with a thoughtful text message, a caring card or a cheerful phone call. When taking the time to knit a scarf or shawl for someone else… there are thoughts of you in every stitch.

DIRECTIONS FOR FOUR (4) SIZES:
Approximate sizes after blocking…

Narrow Scarf: 7” wide x 67” long
Medium Scarf: 9” wide x 70” long
Wide Scarf: 11” wide x 65.5” long
Wrap / Shawl: 17” wide x 70” long

Any of the sizes may be made longer by adding pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 1.5” to the length of the project. Pattern includes estimates for additional yardage needed to make each size longer.

The pattern includes details on how to adjust the width.

WORSTED #4 WEIGHT YARN:

Narrow Scarf: 400 - 420 yards
Medium Scarf: 520 - 540 yards
Wide Scarf: 610 - 630 yards
Wrap / Shawl: 1000 - 1050 yards

Stitch pattern looks attractive with solid color yarns, as well as gently variegated, hand dyed colorways.

For the narrow scarf shown, I used 2 skeins of Malabrigo Rios in the ‘Fresco y Seco’ colorway.

The pattern may also be used with slightly lighter or heavier weight yarns. Select the needle size that gives the best appearance for your yarn. Finished size and amount of yarn needed may vary depending on yarn choice and gauge.

GAUGE:

Pattern stitch with US size 8 needles: approximately 18 stitches & 27 rows = 4”

I used US size 8 knitting needles. Choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.

Though exact gauge is not essential, this stitch pattern will look best with fairly tight stitches. A significantly different gauge may require more (or less) yarn.

NEEDLES:

Project is worked flat, in one piece on straight or circular knitting needles.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy

You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends.

Blocking of finished knitting is recommended.

This pattern uses standard U.S. knitting terms.

Written pattern with row by row instructions.
