Tassel Scarf Pattern

This design is the ideal pattern for anyone just learning how to knit but wants to add a bit of flair to their project. Made entirely out of garter stitch, this scarf will give you plenty of practice with the knit stitch – allowing you to move forward to other stitches and projects with confidence. The ends are finished by folding and gathering the edges, then completed with a cute tassel. Use a solid for a classic scarf or mix things up with a fun, variegated colorway to add pops of color as you knit.
