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)

This is exactly the scarf I have been looking for as I wanted to make it as a gift for one of my Bible study gals! I do have a question though because as I tried to print it off I had trouble with the printer icon on the site, When I press it it goes to Pinterest not the printer.
Love the pattern. Great idea for Christmas presents. Thanks for sharing .
I absolutely love this scarf. I can hardly wait to make it. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I praise your true creativeness. Keep up the greatness in which we enjoy.
I just looked to see about the screw on buttons and you can’t get them in sets of 3 anymore and about the only ones you can get are the leather ones, boo hoo I’m going to use just reg. flower like buttons and hope it works, ty love this pattern.
Love this pattern. I have a bunch of worsted yarn I would love to use up instead of bulky/chunky. How many should I cast on for this pattern if I used worsted weight yarn, maybe size 8 needles?
Thank you.
Cast on 25 stitches with 5mm. Needles.
I don’t know how to knit with needle so how can I make this on a loom?
Hi wanting to make this for myself..what # is this wool u used…..
Wool ease thick and quick is a #6 super bulky yarn.
I made mine in coral, love the pattern and button details, but my edges are curling inward. It kinda ruins the effect. Any ideas?
Hi Laura 🙂 That is usually from either casting on or binding off too tightly. You can combat that ahead of time by using a slightly larger hook when casting on and binding off. If the project is already finished, many times blocking helps that. Hope this helps!
Am I the only one who is finding that my scarf I’m knitting looks about 1/2 the size of the one in the picture? I know I have the right weight yarn and right size needles. It just looks so much broader in the picture than mine is turning out. It’s going to be beautiful either way, but was hoping for the look in the picture. Thanks!
Individual gauge and yarn brand, even if in the same weight category can affect finished size quite a bit. I also always block my items larger so that may help you as well.
I have some old pins of my grandmothers- can’t wait to do and give as gifts to relatives
Hope they love it!
