Last month I posted my Quick and Comfy Crochet Scarf Pattern for the Lion Brand #scarfie project. I absolutely love wearing it every chance I get and have had a great response from my readers as well. And I also received a bunch of requests from knitters to post a knit option as well. So back to the drawing board I went and worked up a knit version.
This Quick and Comfy Knit Scarf Pattern looks so similar to the crochet version … just check put the photo above. The knit version is the brown one on the left and the crochet version is the cream colored one on the right. Pretty close, right? And best of all, you can work up this knit version with just one ball of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick!

- 1 ball (106 yd) of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick (shown here in Barley)

I love knitting this scarf and came back to the website to see if you ever created a knitted hat to compliment this scarf? I have since learned to crochet so could maybe give that a try. Thanks for any advice you can give me on this. I love to knit in the round if that helps, Mary
I love this Scarfie! Wanted to make this a bit wider but not sure how many more stitches to add beyond the 15. If you could help figure that out for me that would be great! I am knitting this.
Thank you, Judy
I love this Scarfie but would like to make it a bit wider how many more would you cast on over the 15 stitches.
Thanks for your reply
I love this pattern, but would like to make it a bit wider. Could you tell me how many to cast on if I wanted to make it bigger that 6 1/2 ” wide.
Thank you,
Judy
