The Essential Triangle Scarf is worked flat from tip to tip, beginning with just five stitches. You’ll shape the scarf by increasing along one edge until it reaches its widest point, then decreasing back down to create the matching second half.

The simple construction paired with the broken rib texture makes this scarf both beginner-friendly and beautifully polished. Slipping the last stitch of each row gives the edges a clean, tidy finish, and the fabric drapes softly for effortless styling. This is the kind of project you can curl up with on the couch and enjoy row after row.

Whether you’re knitting this for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift, I hope you enjoy every stitch of this cozy, modern scarf. If you’re a visual learner, I’ve also filmed a full video tutorial that walks you through the entire process: https://youtu.be/8tdB4tLffoo
