I made this scarf for Wesley’s BD present last December. It’s thick, warm and luxury and keeping him warm during the cold season, and I thought I would share the pattern with you.
I used diagonal knot stitch from The Harmony Guides Vol. 2 for the main part and few rows of single ribbing with tubular cast on / off.

Here is the ravelry link for the PDF!
Hope you enjoy the pattern.
















the scarf looks lovely and warm!
Congratulations on your award from Mary – I thought I’d come visit
Love this scarf pattern and the reversible mitts you made your Mum are beautiful
Love the knotty texture. It does look thick and warm Ü
Hi Kyoko, I love your blog and the clean minimalist presentation.
You’d be very proud of me Kyoko – I’ve been knitting lots of gloves this month and my projects fit perfectly into the zipped pocket of the bag you made me!
You’ve been tagged by the way – see my blog for details!
I love this scarf, Kyoko – I’ll definitely give it a try. The photo shows up the stitch pattern beautifully.
Oh this is fabulous! A really gorgeous scarf. I’ll be linking.
I absolutely love the scarf…and your blog. I actually learned how to knit just a few months ago because of your site. (I used to only crochet.) You make the most wonderful things. Thanks for the inspiration!
Lovely. I will make this for my hubby to go with his new winter coat. I’m thinking something in a nice rich red color.
Oh this is beautiful, I’m glad your pattern was listed on the free pattern site and I got to see your blog!
I wanted to ask a favor,I have some Japanese instructions on a little pack that someone got me, would you possibly be able to translate it for me?

thank you so much for this lovely pattern!
I plan to knit this one soon and I am wondering what the multiple of the stitches are for this scarf pattern.
In your tutorial video you said it´s a multiple of 3 + 1, but that does not seem correct for this scarf. Am I misunderstanding something?
Hello Paavei!

Thank you for your comment!
In the pattern, the knot stitch has extra selvage sts. That is why the stitch number is not quite multiple of 3+1. Hope this makes sense. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Dear Kyoko,
Recently I became interested in knitting and I would like to knit this pattern…However I am having lots of problems with it…Is there a possibility to have your email and send you the picture of my work so you can give me some comments or let me know if I have done any mistakes? I guess I need to undo it again
Thank you so much for your beautiful website and videos xoxo!
Regards,
Sara

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi! I love this scarf and am about half way finished. I am a newish knitter and am having this difficulty: When I begin a new ball of yarn the pattern reverses. I am making a front back pattern. What am I doing to cause this?? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Eileen

hi kyoko!
i’m currently having an attempt on this pattern. i’m just wondering, is it normal for the holes to be present while knitting? because i’ve seen your tutorial on youtube and your sample do have the holes but the finished project look really neat and compact. or maybe the holes will “disappear” after blocking? i’m afraid if i had make a mistake without knowing.
thanks in advance for your response. =)
Hi Fatin!
Thank you very much for your comment. The stitches appear different depending on the kind of yarn used. For example, I used Rowan Cashsoft for this scarf which is a very squishy kind of yarn. So when I blocked it, it filled the gap (although if you look closely enough, there are still small holes). If you for example use a single ply yarn, cotton of any other that are relatively less squishy, there tend to be holes between the stitches. I don’t think you are making any mistakes at all. If you like, do please e-mail me with the image of the scarf so that I can check it for you
Thank you so much for knitting the pattern.

Hi Kyoko! I love this pattern and I can’t wait to try it out for this coming fall!
But I’m very freshly new to knitting and was wondering if there is a way to make this scarf as an infinity/circle scarf? Thanks so much!
Hi Kyoko! The scarf looks very nice. I am trying now to make one myself. Despite the luck of experience I am doing pretty well
but I have one question though. In the row 6 of the MB in the description you say sl1,p2, *MK. Repeat from* until the last 3 sts, p3. If we have 45 sts in total and 6 of them are perled in this row we have 29 sts left, 29 is not divided by three, so when I do this sl1,p2, *MK. Repeat from* I have 4 sts left not 3 :-S. Am I doing something wrong before that or I do not understand description correctly?
Thank you in advance for help.
Hi Anna,
Thank you very much for your comment!
Here is the answers to your question: There are 45 sts, so first three stitches are worked as sl1, p2 which leaves 42 sts.
The knot stitch (MK) is worked over 3 sts so you would work MK 13 times which leaves 3 sts at the end.
Hope this helps. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me
Happy knitting!

Hi Kyoko,
Thank you very much for your answer it helped. I started knitting the whole scarf following your description, as before I was only making knot stitches. When I got to the row in question it worked
) I guess I miscalculated and should of tried doing it instead of thinking too much
). Thank you again.
Also, I would like to double check something, hope I am not bothering you too much. :-s k1, *p1, k1. Repeat from * until end, does it mean to do the following: k1,p1,k1,p1,k1 and so on (k1,p1) till the end? I know that asterisks indicates a section that should be repeated, but I am not sure which park to repeat, just p1 or p1 and k1. Sorry for such basic questions but I am very new to this
Thank you again for all your help
Anna
Hello Anna,
No problem at all. Glad that it helped
You are absolutely right about the second question. It basically means single ribbing i.e. k1, p1, k1, p1, etc …. and end on k1.
No questions are silly questions and I am so happy that you are working on the scarf.
For any other help, please feel free to contact me again.
Happy knitting!
