Used as an accessory, beautiful knitted scarf for a woman, has been firmly occupying one of the most important places for many years. Being an integral part of a business suit, dress, jacket, blazer, cardigan, coat, jacket and many other clothes, a warm product gives everything a finished look, style and charm.
You can choose any color scheme that matches the main clothes, apply the pattern you like and choose the yarn. For examples, below are several simple patterns that will be within the power of even beginner needlewomen.
Easy Scarf for Beginners
The most simple and very easy to perform is considered to be stocking knitting. If you use such knitting for a scarf together with yarn of even and beautiful twist of medium and large thickness, you will get a very beautiful and stylish product.
The pattern of such a pattern is very simple and consists of knitting both the front and back rows with face loops. If desired, the product can be knitted. Steam the finished scarf.
Mohair Scarf for Women
To knit even a simple scarf from mohair yarn, you need to have experience. The difficulty in working with such yarn is that it is almost impossible to unravel. Especially if the mohair thread contains long and fluffy pile.
If the scarf contains any pattern, especially a new and untested one, it is recommended to first try knitting it on regular yarn to make sure it is done correctly and the loops are calculated. And only then use it on mohair yarn.
The thickness of the thread should also be taken into account. For thicker yarn, it is recommended to use denser patterns such as double-sided English, French and American ribbing or a simple geometric pattern.
For thin threads, more delicate openwork and airy patterns are applicable. If the yarn contains less than 50% mohair, the amount of fluff also decreases, which allows for more complex and relief patterns to be applied to it.
Cobweb
A beautiful scarf with knitting needles for a woman, according to many, is a web of mohair yarn. It is so airy and weightless, as if enveloping her in a gentle cloud. To get such a fabric, you need to take knitting needles 2 or 3 numbers larger than the thickness of the yarn. Only in this case the product will be very delicate and airy.
There are many openwork patterns that can be used for such a scarf. But it is recommended to stop at this pattern, as it is easy to perform and looks very beautiful in the finished product.
So, the symbols in it are: an empty cell is a knit stitch, u is a yarn over, ˅ is 2 stitches knitted together, an arrow pointing up is 1 stitch slipped unknitted, like a knit stitch, onto the right knitting needle, knit the next 2 stitches and pass it through the slipped stitch, an arrow pointing down is 1 stitch slipped, like a knit stitch, knit the next 1 stitch and pass it through the slipped stitch.
The length of the scarf is 150 cm. The width is 45 cm. To knit it, you will need 150 g of yarn consisting of mohair and silk. Instead of silk, nylon can be added. Since the rapport of this pattern is 11 loops wide and 22 rows high, you should calculate the required number of loops for casting on. This depends on the individual knitting density of the needlewoman.
Having decided on the width of the scarf and added 2 edge loops, you should start knitting the pattern. At first, you need to follow the pattern very carefully so as not to stray from the drawing. Then, when the pattern is more clearly visible, it will become easier to work. After reaching the desired length, close the loops. The scarf can be knitted with either knitting needles or a crochet hook, depending on the needlewoman's preference.
Openwork
Openwork scarves, knitted with knitting needles for women, are very beautiful and graceful, emphasize their natural beauty and femininity. For knitting such products, you can use both yarn containing mohair and threads containing different percentages of wool. For this type of pattern, you can also use knitting needles 2-3 sizes larger or choose thinner ones.
This is determined individually at will. To make a scarf according to the presented scheme, it is necessary to decide on the pattern rapport. It is 12 loops in width and 11 rows in height. Having chosen parameters similar to the previous product (length 150 cm and width 45+ cm), the yarn consumption will also be about 150 g.
The following symbols will be used for this diagram:
- vertical line – front loop;
- circle - yarn over;
- triangle – 3 stitches together knitwise;
- triangle facing right – 2 knit stitches together;
- triangle pointing to the left - 2 crossed loops, that is, tilted to the left.
Having dialed the calculated number of loops, also very carefully following the diagram, knit the pattern to the required length. After finishing knitting, close all loops. Knit as desired.
The following pattern also features an openwork pattern that would look great on a women's scarf or stole. Lighter yarns are preferable for its execution, as it is intended not so much for weather conditions as for completing a stylish look. It may not be as long and wide as the previous options, and serve as a decoration for a suit or dress.
To knit a scarf 35-40 cm wide and 130 cm long, you will need about 100 g of yarn containing a small percentage of mohair or wool. A thread consisting of cotton, viscose, thin acrylic with lurex will be relevant. The width of the rapport of this pattern is 16 loops, the height is 16 rows.
This diagram uses the already familiar symbols:
- face loop;
- yarn over;
- 2 knit stitches with a left tilt;
- 2 crossed loops front or tilted to the right.
Having decided on the width of the scarf, knit carefully according to the pattern to the desired length. After finishing the work, close all the loops. If desired, tie the product. Perform wet-heat treatment, and the scarf is ready for use.
Snood all round
This combination of scarf is very convenient. It can be used as a double scarf or as a set of headwear and snood itself.
A beautiful scarf with knitting needles for a woman can be knitted in the form of a snood. For this, it is recommended to use the circular method.
To make such an accessory you will need 150 g of yarn or 3 skeins of 50 g each and 300 m long. The length of the snood is 150 cm and the width is 47-48 cm. To make a whole snood you will need circular knitting needles that match the thickness of the selected yarn.
Step by step knitting:
- Having pre-knitted a sample of the fabric with a pattern, the knitting density is calculated, that is, the number of loops and rows per 1 cm.
- Then multiply it by the length (150 cm in this case) and cast on the needles.
- Connect the outer loop to the initial one and continue working in a circle.
- An excellent example of a pattern for such a snood model would be a slanted one in any version. Based on this scheme, it is easy to perform and at the same time original and gives a good shape to the snood.
- The width of the rapport is 12 loops, the height is 24 rows. Legend: an empty cell is a purl loop, a horizontal line is a front loop, a circle is a yarn over, and also 2 together is a front loop.
- Having brought the required number of loops into line with the number of rapports, you can begin working.
- Having carefully knitted the first few rows, the subsequent ones will easily prompt further actions.
- Having reached the desired width of the product, close and fasten all the loops. The transformer snood is ready for use.
Two-tone
A beautiful scarf with knitting needles for a woman can be made by combining several color solutions. Depending on the suit or outerwear with which this model will be used, the necessary colors are selected.
There are many possible variations:
- a color transition from dark to light within one range. There can be 2 or more of them;
- vice versa, from light to dark;
- combination of 2 or more colors in different orders;
- arrangement of flowers in horizontal, vertical and inclined positions.
This diagram shows one of the simplest options for using color. The rectangle on it shows the pattern rapport in height, which is the limiter of one color. If desired, you can knit several rapports in one color, then the second, or alternate them.
Another very unusual and charming model of a two-color scarf-stole is the alternation of color and structure of yarn. This product is knitted not by width, but by length. The combination of stripes of acrylic yarn of one color, made with a regular mesh and stripes of another color from grass yarn will become an unusually elegant addition to a woman's evening dress.
From sectional yarn
Scarves knitted from sectional yarn, even with the simplest pattern or without one, will also be good because of the color component of the thread itself. Transitioning from one color to another, it itself creates its own unique pattern.
If the needlewoman has a lot of experience working with this type of yarn, she can, having determined the required width of the product, at which the color rapport of the thread will be repeated, select a complex openwork pattern for it. But it will be quite difficult for beginners to achieve this.
Therefore, for scarves made of sectional yarn, it is recommended either not to use patterns at all, or to use very simple geometric ones. They will not be lost among the color sections of the thread. The presented patterns are not at all difficult to perform. They involve only face and back loops.
From thick threads
Such yarn is used mainly for knitting warm items that will keep you cozy in any weather. But to create such things, it is recommended to carefully select yarn, knitting needles and pattern in each individual case.
If you knit a women's scarf from very thick threads, then the most acceptable option for its execution will be the usual stocking knitting. Other patterns from them, although they can be obtained, will be rough and inconvenient.
If the yarn is not too thick and also soft and slightly twisted, you can apply various relief or slightly openwork patterns to it, which will create volume and retain heat. The presented pattern scheme is one of the simple and numerous examples used for knitting warm winter clothes.
The following pattern will also look interesting. To knit it, you can use either knitting needles one number thinner or one number thicker. In the first case, the fabric will be denser, and in the second - looser and softer.
The pattern for doing it is simple. It contains the already familiar symbols: knit stitches, yarn over, 2 stitches together knitwise and draw through with a rightward tilt. It shows only odd rows, taking into account that even rows are knitted only with knit stitches.
Scottish
There are several options for making the pattern.
Option No. 1
In order to knit a beautiful Scottish women's scarf, experience is required. If the needlewoman has mastered the art of knitting several skeins of yarn at the same time, then this pattern will be within her power.
To make the pattern, the diagram of which is presented nearby, you need to start working with 6 skeins of thread: 4 red, 3 green and 2 blue. By intertwining them, it is possible to create a Scottish plaid effect. But for beginners, there is a fairly easy way. It is described below.
Option #2
The following version of knitting a Scottish cage will be easier to perform. To do it, you will need several colors of yarn. The quantity and color scheme are chosen arbitrarily, but for beginner needlewomen it is recommended to start with 3.
Step by step knitting:
- You need to start by casting on the required number of loops, equal to the width of the scarf.
- Next, knit the colored stripes, alternating them so that they are located in a certain sequence.
- The width of the stripes of each color can be different. But at least one color should dominate over the others. This will give a special elegance to the finished product.
- When the desired length of the scarf is reached, close all loops.
- Now it's time to move on to the next step of mastery. This process will involve the same threads and a sewing needle with a wide eye.
- To begin with, it is recommended to determine the middle of the product, located along the canvas. You can take a thread of any color, but not the dominant one, thread it into the needle and, having secured it at the beginning, sew a line through one transverse row to the end of the canvas.
- Sew the next 2 lines with a different colored thread (also not the main one) in a checkerboard pattern in relation to the previous one in opposite directions in each subsequent transverse knitted row.
- Then take the thread of the dominant color and make 5 of the same decorative lines. Then repeat the same number of lines, consisting of 2 of the second color, 1 of the first and again 2 of the second. Continue the process to the edge of the canvas.
English elastic
One of the most common and long-known patterns used in knitting both women's and men's scarves is the English rib.
It gives them English elegance and nobility. It will not be difficult to do it if you understand the pattern well. The symbols in it are: front loops, back loops and yarn over. The set of loops should be an odd number and 2 edge loops.
Step by step knitting:
- You should start knitting by alternating front loops with loops removed with a straight yarn over.
- Knit the next row in the same way, only starting from the slipped stitch with the yarn over.
- As a result, you will get a double-sided fabric with even vertical rows-chains. After completing the required length, close the edge.
Knitting warm and beautiful openwork scarves with knitting needles for women brings not only pleasure to craftswomen, but also brings benefits.
Having learned to read the patterns correctly and carefully perform them in practice, beginning needlewomen will be able to master new and more complex knitting techniques and models in the future. The experience accumulated over the years can allow them to come up with their own exclusive patterns.
