But we need a pattern for a really simple scarf. I always liked this pattern and I have no clue where it came from. I believe it came from a stitch guide. It is so simple and once you get the hang of it you don't need a hard copy. So I have used it for years to use up those pesky part balls of yarn in my stash. Sometimes long ones, sometimes a neckwarmer scarf to tuck in your coat.
Easy Lace Stashbuster Scarf
Yarn - anything you have (this was a fuzzy sport weight acrylic in my stash) less than 200 yards.
Needles - large (this scarf 8mm)
Size - (this scarf 8" wide by 40" long)
Pattern
Cast On 26 stitches.
Knit 6 rows garter stitch for bottom border.
Row 1 - K3, *(k2tog, yo)* repeat till last 3 stitches, K3
Row 2 - K3, purl to last 3 stitches, K3
Row 3 - K3, *(yo, k2tog)* repeat till last 3 stitches, K3
Row 4 - K3, purl to last 3 stitches, K3.
Repeat rows 1 - 4 until scarf is as long as you like or you run out of yarn. But leave yourself enough to finish another border.
Knit 6 rows garter stitch for top border.
This pattern can be varied by size of yarn, size of needle and number of stitches. It is a multiple of 2 stitches so you can make it as wide as you want. Anything you want. Gets rid of those part balls of yarn in your stash.
Enjoy.

Came here from Ravelry -- love this pattern!
also came here from Ravelry - you solved a last-minute gift requirement for me - thanks! Also, this is a great stash-buster... I am eager to try it with different yarns and needles.
oh, yeah... forgot to say "Thanks!!"
What a great pattern! And a great introduction to 'lace' knitting!
COOL! I also came here from Ravelry
My mother had just written down on a piece of paper last year... this makes for a beautiful scarf... and keeps us hockey moms busy during the long hours at the arena... easy pattern that can be done still while watching hockey practice and chatting with other parents.
BTW - If you want... with one skein of mohair and 6 or 8mm needles you can get one of these done in one or two days. Well of intense knitting, but still very fast. I've done :)
Thank you for sharing
I loved this pattern and made two scarves with it... does anyone else notice that the scarf curls up though?
I'm imagining multicoloured/painted sock yarn for this scarf. (I just happen to have ((mumble)) skeins to play with that will never become socks unless I learn to knit with my mind.....)
I found this pattern from Ravelry, and it's just perfect! I have some fun fluffy yarn and I'm using size 15 needles. So far this scarf is awesome, and I think it's going to turn out amazing! Thanks for the pattern!
Came here from Ravelry. Thanks for the pattern. You make my day!
