Doodle Scarf Kit

Description

The Doodle Scarf is the ultimate cozy winter accessory. Whether you wear it wrapped once (or twice) around your neck and tucked in, or drape it long over a knee-length puffer jacket, this pattern offers a large canvas for your creative expression. Choose a single-color background with a rainbow gradient like the sample, or opt for intricate border motifs with the rest of the scarf in simple stockinette—the choice is yours! 

The pattern is worked in the round as a tube on circular needles, from end to end. Beginning with Judy’s Magic Cast On, you can work your custom design for the stranded colorwork until it reaches your desired length. The live stitches are then grafted closed, providing a seamless finish that matches the cast on.

The Doodle Scarf pattern is available in The Doodle Knit Directory book by Jamie Lomax, a Seattle-based knitwear designer and owner of Pacific Knit Co. The book features 200 mix-and-match motifs and patterns for knitted accessories, including the Doodle Scarf. The designs are presented seasonally, with motifs ranging from flowers, leaves, and mushrooms to squirrels, sheep, and other birds and animals. There are also abstract designs that can be interspersed to break up patterns and add interest, giving you endless opportunities to doodle with your knitting. 

The Doodle Scarf is designed and knit in Acadia—a rich blend of Merino, baby alpaca, and silk noil. Knitting in this luxurious DK weight yarn promises a delicate drape and sumptuous texture, feeling heavenly against the skin.
