Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn in pastel shades (such as soft lavender, mint green, and blush pink)
• Needles: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches using your US 6 (4mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement.
2. Garter Stitch Border:
   • Rows 1-4: Knit all stitches across each row. This creates a garter stitch border that will frame your scarf beautifully.
3. Textured Pattern:
   • Row 5: *Knit 4 stitches, Purl 2 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
   • Row 6: *Purl 4 stitches, Knit 2 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
   • Repeat Rows 5 and 6 for a total of 20 inches. This will create a lovely textured ribbing effect.
4. Stockinette Stitch Section:
   • After completing the textured pattern, switch to stockinette stitch. To do this, knit one row and then purl the next row. Continue this for 10 inches.
5. Return to Textured Pattern:
   • Once you have completed the stockinette section, return to the pattern from Rows 5-6 and repeat for another 20 inches.
6. Finish with Garter Stitch:
   • To complete your scarf, knit 4 rows in garter stitch to match the beginning of your scarf.
7. Bind Off: Once you have completed the final garter stitch rows, bind off all stitches. Make sure to do this loosely to maintain the elasticity of the scarf.
8. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. Finally, block the scarf gently to shape it and enhance the texture.
