Easy Scarf Knitting Patterns for Multicolored Yarn
The perfect combination of your favorite scarf knitting patterns all rounded up into a single post! From beginner to advanced, there's a scarf for you here.
I love wearing scarves! It takes two seconds to grab one from the closet and throw it on but it always makes me look so much more put together. Not to mention that it keeps me extra cozy and warm!
There are so many different scarf knitting patterns out there. It was really hard to narrow this curated list down to my top 25!
I tried to include a little something for everyone in this free scarf knitting patterns list. There are knitting patterns for the beginner knitter and also knitting patterns for more experienced knitters.
There's rectangular scarves, triangle scarves, cowls and more. There's also a wide variety of yarn weights and colors used. You can use straight needles or circular needles. Check them out and see what you think!
