Men’s scarf knitting pattern
Step-by-step knitting instructions
Step 1
Cast on 22 stitches on two needles in order to make the loops bigger. That way it will be easier to knit the first row.
Remove one needle.
Step2
1st row (right side) – knit all stitches to end
2nd row (wrong side) – sl.st.1, purl all stitches to end
3rd row – sl.st.1, k to end
4th row – sl.st.1, p to end
Step3
Ribbing
1st row (right side) – sl.st.1, [p1, k1] to last one st; p1
2nd row – sl.st.1, [sl.st.1*, k1] to last one st; p1
*keep yarn in front of your work
Alternate 1st and 2nd rows for 12 rows.
Step 4
1st row – sl.st.1, k to end
2nd row – sl.st.1, p to end
Step 5
Pattern
1st row (right side) – sl.st.1, [yo, sl.st.1**, k1] to last one st; k1
**keep yarn behind your work
2nd row – sl.st.1, [p1, p st and loop together] to last 1st; p1
3rd row – sl.st.1, [k1, yo, sl.st.1**] to last one st; k1
4th row – sl.st.1, [p st and loop together, p1] to last 1st; p1
Repeat the above till you reach the desired length of the scarf.
Step 6
Repeat steps 4, 3, and 2.
Step 7
Cast off, secure, and hide the tail of the yarn. I used all the yarn up for the scarf. However, it might not be your case and you may need to cut the yarn after casting off and then secure it.

thanks! so glad to get a reply!! after untying and redoing multiple times i seem to have gotten it right!

one more question: for step 5, after i have knitted the first three rows, do i repeat row 1(loop-skip), row 2 (knit) and row 3 (loop-skip) in this order? like 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3

or do i do row 1-2-3-2-1-2-3-2-1?

I think you confuse the 2nd

I think you confuse the 2nd row with the 1st row or 3rd row. For the 2nd row (wrong side) it is necessary to purl sts. You may watch the video how I purled a regular stitch with a loop.

Hi peiqiyio,

Hi peiqiyio,
After you knit the 1st three rows, work your 4th row as your 2nd row. Then repeat the pattern starting from the 1st row (1, 2, 3, 4=2, 1, 2, 3, 4=2, and so on).
