Do you have balls or skeins of DK weight yarn in your stash in a fabulous colour but you’re not sure what to make with them? Use them to knit the free Tolcarne Scarf knitting pattern!
The gorgeous reversible texture gives interest and holds in warmth, whilst being easy to knit. One side shows up ribbed while the other side is a lovely nubby pattern, like rocks and pebbles on Tolcarne Beach in Newquay, Cornwall.
The scarf won’t fly away from you in windy weather either, due to its ingenious centre slot fastening! Just thread one end through it to keep your scarf secure and cosy around your neck.
The Tolcarne Scarf knitting pattern is FREE for you to download right now, so you can start knitting it straight away!
What will you need?
This easy knit pattern uses 100 grams of any Double Knitting weight yarn, so it’s a fabulous stash buster to keep making. It will look quite different in a variegated yarn to a semi-solid colourway. Knit several versions of this scarf with different fibre blends to give a look and feel with each one!
If you want to knit the Tolcarne Scarf in either of the gorgeous hand-dyed the yarns shown, you can find them here:
You will also need a pair of straight 5mm knitting needles to knit the scarf. If you prefer to knit with a circular needle, you can do that too, just working back and forth instead of in the round.
You’ll soon get the hang of the easy 4-row pattern repeat, so you won’t even need to look at the pattern for most of the knitting.
If you’ve read my article about Choosing the right yarn type, you’ll know that different DK yarns will have different lengths, although they may all be the same weight. This scarf design accommodates any DK weight yarn, as you make it as long as you can with the yarn you have available.
