Knitted Grape Soda Scarf in a vibrant purple shade, finished with pom-poms for a playful look.
Materials:
- 4.0 mm G US 8 (5 mm) knitting needles
- 344 yards (315 meters) of #4/medium weight yarn (I used one cake of Lion Brand’s Mandala Ombre in the “Chi” colorway)
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Tape measure
Sizing:
- Scarf itself is 32 inches long
- Each pom pom is 3 inches wide
- Total length (scarf plus both pom poms) is 38 inches long
Note: you can easily adjust the length by working more rows of the pattern.
Instructions:
CO 30 (any even number is okay if you want to change the width)
Rows 1-4: knit all stitches.
Row 5: K2, *yo, k2tog* repeat from * across until 2 sts remain. K2.
Repeat Row 5 until the scarf measures 32 inches long or your desired length (be sure to leave plenty of yarn for the final 4 rows and to bind off).
Repeat Rows 1-4 once more, then BO all sts. Weave in ends.
Finishing & Assembly:
To make an optional pom-pom at either end: cut a piece of yarn about 12–18 inches long. Wrap yarn approximately 275 times around your hand (or a pom-pom maker). Tie tightly in the center of the bundle and cut all loops, keeping the two long tails to attach to the scarf. Trim the pom-pom until it is compact and neat. Repeat for the second pom-pom.
Tie each pom-pom to either end of the scarf. To achieve the centered, cinched look: use the first tail and weave it through the scarf edge from right to left, then weave the second tail from left to right. Gently pull both ends until the scarf cinches and tie tightly. Trim the two tying ends flush into the pom-pom so they are hidden. Repeat for the second pom-pom and your scarf is ready to wear.
Happy knitting, lovelies!
