(UPDATE) Sorry to say that I don’t sell this scarf. I do hope by the end of the year I could make some more and sell them. I just don’t have the time in the next few months.
I really appreciate all the lovely comments and emails I’ve received!
I have always wanted to start knitting but always thought it was so confusing and very time consuming. A couple of months ago I watched some videos on Youtube to learn how to knit. After a few tries and watching the videos over and over, I finally got the hang of it but still not quite yet. The knitting pattern terminology still confuses me.
It’s still very hot here in Southern Cali but the nights are starting cool down. I’m really tired of this hot weather! So, I created this simple, chunky scarf with a knitted bow for my little Aries. It’s perfect for winter and it will protect her neck and chest from the cold weather.
Now we wait for the cooler weather!






To make this scarf: I used Lion brand Chunky Yarn & 13 size straight needles.
Pattern for scarf: 13 stitches and about 25 inches long; GARTER STITCH only. Start doing the button hole at about 21.5 inches in length and about 4.5 inches from the end. Cast off at the 6th garter stitch and only casting off 3 stitches. I used this very helpful video to cast off the button hole.
Pattern for bow: 10 1/2 straight needles and normal/med size yarn. Pattern: 16 stitches and about 6 1/2 inches long. Once done knitting, simply grab some yarn and wrap around the middle to form the bow. I secured the bow to the scarf with needle and thread. Then I simply used the bow as the “button” to hold the scarf. You simply grab the bow from the button hole and that’s it.
I’m no expert at all and learned all by myself. I found knitting very relaxing and I can’t wait to knit more items like hats and cowls! Knitting for me has turned into taking a break from the computer, sitting and watching a movie or show with my little Aries.Do you knit? To learn to knit I suggest watching videos on Youtube. Starting with chunky yarn makes it so much easier and it’s way faster than knitting with thin yarn. If you have any questions, I will be happy to help. You can email me at angie(at)littleinspiration(dot)com or leave a comment.


Here is my Little Aries modeling for me. Isn’t this scarf the cutest ever!?

Megan - I am totally in LOVE!! However, I only know how to crochet. Is there anywhere or any way I can get this in a crochet pattern??
Lissa - What an adorable scarf! I came across it on Pinterest and was very pleased to find such a detailed tutorial. To be honest though, I’d very much like to make an adult version. I’m fairly new to knitting so I must ask, how would you alter the pattern to make this scarf suitable for an adult?
Thanks for your time!
portia - Thanks, Angie! I appreciate your prompt feedback
Angie - You would only need one skein of chunky yarn for the scarf itself.
Angie - Hi Portia!
There are many “chunky” yarn brands. The width of the yarn is visible and the brand I use I got it at Walmart for about $2.50. you can also search online by searching “chunky yarn”. Hope this helps.
Portia - Where did u purchase the chunky yarn? Also, how many skeins will I need to complete this beauty?
Portia - Thank you so much for this pattern! My SIL pinned this and I want to make it for my niece. I have a quick question: you said you used Lion Brand chunky yarn, but I’m not familiar with that. Is there more to the name? I’m in love with the vibrant colors you’ve chosen and want to make sure I pick up the right yarn.
Thanks in advance,
Portia

Cathy - I’m confused. You say to make the scarf 13 stitches wide, but when casting off for the bow, you give directions for 16 stitches wide. “knit 6, cast off 4, knit 6 = 16″ I made the scarf 13 stitches wide. So I’m going to wing it and see how it goes!
Did I miss how you gather the bow in the middle? from the photo it looks like you just wrapped yarn around the middle several times?
Angie - Hey Sue,
The bow is the button. I must of wrote it wrong?
Yea so you pull the bow out from the button hole. It fits perfectly, the scarf will cover her chest and will stay in place
Sue - Hi Angie! What do you mean when you use the bow at the button to secure the scarf?
Karina - I am absolutely in love with this for my daughter. Any chance that you would make and sell this to me? I am so not capable of knitting! Let me know one way or the other please
Karina@HazySkies.com
Angie - Hi Ashley,
Hope this helps.
The yarn for the bow is thin so that would make the stitches a lot smaller. Yeah, its basically a rectangle to form a bow.
Let me know if there is anything else you need help with.
Ashley - I understand the pattern sound simple enough. But what I do not understand is how you got the same of the bow. By the pattern sounds like you just made a square.
Angie - Hi Michelle,
Yes, it’s garter stitch.
Thanks for stopping by.
michelle - Is this all in garter stitch???
Angie - You actually use the bow as the button by sliding it through the button hole
Thanks for stopping by
Heidi - Adorable! I have a question regarding the “button”. Did you attach an actual button behind the bow that goes into the button hole, or did you actually slide the bow itself through the button hole?

Angie - Hi Monqique,
Please let me know if you received my re-ply.
Start making the button hole at 21 inches long.. start by casting off at the 7th stitch and only casting off 4.
(6 Stitches – Cast off 4 – 6 stitches = 16 stitches) the hole is about 1-2 inches in width and it should be enough for the bow.
Let me know if this helps.
Angie
Angie - Hi Lindsay,
Let me know if you received my re-ply.
When making the button hole.. start to cast off at 7th stitch only casting off 4. The hole is about 1-2 inches in width.
if you have any questions, let me know. I’m happy to help.
