Quick & Easy Chunky Knit Scarf – Perfect for Beginners! [Free Written Pattern & Video Tutorial!]
***You can purchase an INEXPENSIVE AD-FREE PDF of this pattern on Ravelry HERE or Etsy HERE***
This incredibly soft and chunky scarf is the perfect quick knit for this winter. Made using only 3 balls of chunky yarn, this project is deliberately designed to be not just beginner friendly, but also to give texture and interest as a quick and easy knit for a more experienced knitter.
I used Scheepjes Namaste – the soft roving texture of the yarn makes the scarf so soft and squishy! But you can use any yarn that calls for 8mm needles (If you use lighter/heavier yarn then you will find your scarf width is different to mine).
