No-Purl Ribbed Scarf in Yonder: Free Scarf Knitting Pattern

Введение

No-Purl Ribbed Scarf in Yonder

Our No-Purl Ribbed Scarf brings you all the squishy, stretchy, dimensional goodness of ribbing… But without a single purl! We updated this classic Purl Soho pattern so you can knit it in Yonder, itself a classic, made with 50% highland wool and 50% alpaca.

The stitch pattern that makes this no-purl ribbing possible is easy as can be. Just knits and slip stitches, and okay, you do need to work a few purls to make a nice, stretchy bind-off, but when the time comes, you’ll be so excited to wear your scarf that you won’t mind!

Yonder’s lofty 3-ply spin is perfect to make these plump mock-ribs pop. The bounce of highland wool is perfectly paired with alpaca’s supple softness for a hearty and satisfying knit. A classic worsted-weight yarn, Yonder blooms beautifully and feels as robust as it looks.

With four undyed straight-from-nature shades, plus over a dozen colors dyed over those neutrals, Yonder has a rich and varied palette of earthy heathers. Pick up 4 skeins in your favorite color for a scarf like ours, or get 8 to make a generous wrap.

If lofty ribs are your cup of tea but purling isn’t, cast on for a knitter’s classic with our No-Purl Ribbed Scarf in Yonder!
