The simply scrumptious scarf looks clever and elegant, but is extremely easy to make.

Like all minimal knits | DESIGNED scarves MK#9 drapes beautifully, can be worn in all sorts of ways and is quick to knit because it uses needles larger than is usual for the yarn. An elongated boomerang shape with eyelet edges and rows, it has the effect of being knitted on the bias.

In case you’d like to add a tiny bit of bling, the simply scrumptious scarf pattern includes extremely easy instructions for setting beads into the knitting on two edges (not the edge that normally is closest to the neck), but of course using beads is entirely optional.

The sample scarf was made from two 50g balls of Debbie Bliss Rialto in the colour Aquamarine containing 360 metres – 396 yards. It measures 56 cm / 22 inches, by 120 cm / 47 inches, by 168 cm / 66 inches without blocking.

The beaded scarf was made with a Bombed Yarns sock blank in the colour It’s Like So Cool containing 375 metres - 410 yards. It measures 72 cm / 27 inches by 152 cm / 57 inches by 196 cm / 73½ inches after blocking.

Skill Level Easy… even though it might include a technique you haven’t used before, the pattern contains simple, straightforward instructions and notes on where to look for more information.
