How to Knit a Spiral Ruffle Scarf

These lovely scarves have different names. I call it the Spiral Ruffle Scarf. It's easy to make and looks great in either a fine or a medium weight yarn. I made mine with softball cotton yarn and size 8 needles. Here are the videos and written directions:

1.  Cast on 17 stitches... or any greater uneven number that can be divided in half plus one.

2.  Row 1: Knit.

3.  Row 2: Knit 2, turn and knit back.

4.  Row 3: Knit 4, turn and knit back.

5.  Row 4: Knit 6, turn and knit back.

6.  Row 5: Knit 8, turn and knit back.

7.  Row 6: Knit all 17 stitches.

8.  Repeat rows 2 through 6.

Don't worry when it doesn't ruffle right away. It takes a while. Here's what it looks like before it starts to ruffle:

9.  When your scarf is at the desired length, bind off.

Tip

• Both ends will form a V shape.
