I have named this chunky knit scarf pattern, The Ultimate Knitted Scarf, because that is exactly what it is! With two kids in hockey, I spend a lot of my time bundled up in layers of warm, not always flattering arena friendly attire. And now that we are beginning another season of me freezing my bum off, I decided to knit a scarf for myself that would not only keep me warm and cozy, but also be luxuriously soft and stylish. I chose an uncomplicated pattern stitch too, so that I could knit while watching TV.
This beginner friendly pattern creates a stylish, cozy, soft, warm, beautiful infinity scarf that is the perfect length to wrap around your neck exactly three times. I know that I’ll be wearing it all season long – and if you are looking to make the ultimate knitted scarf as well, try out the pattern and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Choosing Yarn to Knit this Scarf
I wrote the pattern for Knit Picks Biggo bulky weight yarn which has to be the softest bulky weight yarn I have found to date. Unfortunately Biggo has been discontinued, but worry not, I’ve listed a few alternative yarns that are bulky with a bit of stretch that are perfect for this scarf pattern.
- Berocco Vintage Chunky
- Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky
- James C. Brett Chunky with Merino
- Berocco Comfort Chunky

Pattern:
This scarf is knit flat on straight knitting needles. If you’d like to alter the width, cast on a multiple of 4 plus 3 stitches.
Cast on 31 stitches.
Row 1: K1; *K2, P2; repeat from * to last two stitches; K2.
Row 2: K1; *P2, K2; repeat from * to last two stitches; P1, K1.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until scarf measures 72 inches (or 36 inches folded in half). This will take just under 3 hanks of the yarn, leaving enough for finishing.
Cast off in pattern.
Fold scarf in half and sew together the cast on and cast off ends to form an infinity scarf.
Weave in all loose ends.
