Easy Knit and Purl design! Learn how to make this Easy Color Block Scarf Knitting Pattern. It’s a perfect project for experienced beginners who enjoy knitting flat on straight needles. I love changing textures and colors, which this scarf allows us to do frequently.

Inspired by my new Knit Stitch Pattern Book, this scarf is an easy knit and purl design. Enjoy knitting 5 textured patterns which include Beaded Rib, Double Moss, Tile Squares, Diagonal Zigzag, and Lattice Seed Stitch. Additionally, this scarf is edged in the simple Garter Stitch on every panel!

Scarf Construction: The knitted scarf is created from the bottom up on straight needles. To make things even easier, this scarf is knitted in one piece, rather than sewing separate pieces together.

Color Changes: Note that on each color change row, the pattern is Knit Only. This allows there to be No Purl Dash Lines on the right side of your work.

Finishing Work: Because we are knitting up our scarf in one piece, you simply need to weave in your yarn ends. I highly recommend lightly blocking your scarf to shape, allowing all of the different stitch patterns into the same dimensions.
