Super Simple Rib and Lace Scarf Cowl

The Free Knitting Pattern Super Simple Rib and Lace Scarf Cowl uses an easy to learn lace stitch pattern separated by ribbing. Made with the amazingly soft and ultra colorful Colorscape yarn by Red Heart Yarns (see link below), this project can be a scarf or a cowl…totally up to you! It is sure to become a favorite accessory either way.

There are times when I like to just let a yarn speak to me. I let it tell me what it wants to be; that is exactly what happened with this design. I had ONE ball of the new Colorscape yarn by Red Heart yarn and I knew I wanted to have something I could wear wrapped around my neck. So, I chose a stitch pattern that was easy to remember and wouldn’t bore me to death and cast on.

The resulting accessory is a super simple rib and lace scarf cowl; it can be either one. When I was finished with the piece I new I had the perfect buttons to use and lucky me, they were the right size to fit into the lace portion of the piece. What does that mean? NO BUTTON HOLES to make 🙂

Do you have one ball of yarn that you just can’t wait to start? This is the project for you. Customize it for any yarn you want to use. You can make one in no time (this took me about 4 hours to make). Are you ready to make your own Super Simple Rib and Lace Scarf Cowl?

Pattern

Rib and Lace stitch multiple is 8 sts + 3

Body

Using any cast on (I prefer Long Tail) cast on 27 sts.

Set-up row: Knit

Row 1 (RS): *[P1, K1] twice, yarn over, SK2P (see special stitches), yarn over, k1, place marker; repeat from * to the last 3 sts, P1, K1, P1.

Row 2 (WS): K1, P1, K1, *slip marker, P5, K1, P1, K1; repeat from * to end.

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until piece measures approx 54″ or until you are about out of yarn ending on a RS row.

Final Row (RS): Bind off all stitches.

Finishing

Weave in all ends.

Buttons

With RS facing, sew buttons evenly spaces along the cast on edge of the Free Knitting Pattern Super Simple Rib and Lace Scarf Cowl. 

Now, as the scarf is wrapped around the neck, the yarn overs in the lace acts as button holes to close it up and turn the scarf into a cowl.

Don’t forget to favorite this pattern on Ravelry and link to it when you make your scarf / cowl 🙂
