How to Knit a Scarf - PDF Knitting Pattern & Video Tutorial for Beginners

Want to learn how to knit a scarf? This PDF knitting pattern & video tutorial will show you how to make a knitted scarf, even if you are a brand-new beginner.

This PDF Knitting Pattern includes both a pattern (so you can make the brown scarf in the photos with #5 Bulky yarn) and a formula. The formula will help you make your own custom garter stitch scarf in any size, and yarn, and any style you like.

Fill-In-The-Blanks worksheet for designing your own custom knit scarf
