✨ This pattern is available for free.

Finished Size:
Approx. 10 x 82 in / 26 x 208 cm after blocking (excluding fringe)
Easily adjustable to suit your style

Yarn:
Approx. 600 m / 656 yd of sport to bulky weight yarn, depending on gauge

Choose a yarn that creates a fabric you love. The sample shown was knit using Sewrella Yarn Woolly base (164 yd / 50 g), a 90% superwash merino wool / 10% recycled nylon blend with a soft, fluffy texture. Although categorized as a sport-weight yarn, it knits up at a bulky-weight gauge.
Any yarn that produces a fabric you enjoy at gauge will work well. Using a thicker worsted or bulky yarn will result in a denser, heavier fabric.

Needles:
US 10.5 (6.5 mm) 16 in / 40 cm circular needle
Spare needle for stitch rearranging
(Optional: Cordsmith or DPNs for i-cord fringe)

Gauge:
12 sts x 14 rounds = 4 in / 10 cm
in stockinette stitch worked in the round, after blocking

Whether you’re knitting your very first scarf or adding a handmade staple to your winter wardrobe, the Snowbird Snuggle Scarf is the kind of project that feels as good to knit as it does to wear.
