Colorflow Garter Wrap: Free Scarf Knitting Pattern

Введение

Colorflow Garter Wrap

In celebration of sixteen new Cashmere Merino Bloom colors, our Colorflow Garter Wrap knitting pattern is a great resounding symphony played only in knit stitches and color!

We dipped into Cashmere Merino Bloom‘s new palette of melodic color to design this joyful composition. Alternating colors each row creates a beautiful woven texture, while changing the colors you’re alternating builds long stripes…. Simple!

January demands an uplifting tune, and the joy of knitting your own Colorflow Garter Wrap is definitely that. Cashmere Merino Bloom is incredibly soft, lush, and satisfying to work with, while playful duets of color keep the knitting surprising.

Get started with all 10 skeins you’ll need to knit up your wonderfully toasty wrap. Pick from a Warm or Cool palette: the first, a medley from the red-pink end of the spectrum; the second, a wild tune from the land of purples!

Yarn lovers, if you adore the yarn used in this project, you’ll love exploring all of our other yarn collections!

Gauge

19 stitches and 42 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch

Size

Finished Dimensions: 17¼ inches wide x 68 inches long

Notes

Slip Stitches

Slip all slipped stitches purlwise unless pattern indicates otherwise.

Turn + Slide

When you work the Two-Color Garter Stitch Pattern, you either “slide” or “turn” the work at the end of each row.

“Turn work” means to do what you would normally do when knitting rows with circular needles: Transfer the needle from your left hand into your right hand and the needle from your right hand into your left, flipping the work around so the opposite side is facing you.

“Slide work” means to keep the same side of the work facing you and to push all the stitches to the right end of the circular needles. Without turning the work, start the new row as you normally would.

You will know that you’re doing this right if the yarn you need to complete the next row is right there waiting for you!

Two-Color Garter Stitch Pattern

Row 1 (right side): Slip 1 with Yarn 1 in front and Yarn 2 in back, with Yarn 2, knit to end of row. Slide work.

Row 2 (right side): Slip 1 with yarn in front, with Yarn 1, purl to end of row. Turn work.

Row 3 (wrong side): Slip 1 with Yarn 2 in front and Yarn 1 in back, with Yarn 2, purl to end of row. Slide work.

Row 4 (wrong side): Slip 1 with yarn in back, with Yarn 1, knit to end of row. Turn work.

NOTE: If you’re introducing a new yarn color in Row 1 or 2, for the first slip stitch, just slip the old color yarn. You only introduce the new yarn when it’s time to knit or purl.

Pattern

Begin

With Color A (see MATERIALS), cast on 318 stitches. NOTE: When casting on so many stitches, we recommend placing a stitch marker (or piece of scrap yarn) every 50 stitches. That way, if you lose count, you don’t have to count from the very beginning of the row. Remove the markers as you work the first row.

Repeat Row 1 two more times.
