Looking Forward Scarf knitting pattern features a modern, triangle stitch pattern that is reversible. Use this pattern to knit a warm winter scarf or a cozy wrap for cool evenings. Makes a nice gift for women or men.
We experience all four seasons in my hometown – Kansas City. There are wonderful things to look forward to during each season. In spring, there are blooming daffodils, tulips and flowering trees. Warm summer days are ideal for a picnic in the park. Crisp fall evenings are perfect for an outdoor fire with a cozy hand knit wrap. The occasional snowy winter day can be beautiful and peaceful. When knitting the scarf, the triangles appear as a reminder to keep looking forward to the memorable moments that each season brings.
“This was such a fun, easy project - it practically flew off the needles! ”

DIRECTIONS FOR THREE SCARF & WRAP SIZES:
Approximate sizes after blocking…
Scarf: 8” wide x 69” long
Wide Scarf: 11” wide x 73” long
Wrap / Shawl: 16.5” wide x 66.5” long
Finished size may vary depending on yarn weight and gauge used.
Any of the sizes may be made longer by adding pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 1.25” to the length of the project. Pattern includes estimates for additional yardage needed to make each size longer.
ARAN or HEAVY WORSTED #4 WEIGHT YARN:
Scarf: 420 - 435 yards
Wide Scarf: 610 - 630 yards
Wrap / Shawl: 840 - 870 yards
The pattern may also be used with slightly lighter weight yarns. Select the needle size that gives the best appearance for your yarn. Finished size and amount of yarn needed may vary depending on yarn choice and gauge….so buy extra yarn just in case!
For the scarf, I used two skeins of Blue Sky Fibers ‘Extra’ Aran weight yarn in the ‘Shale’ colorway.
GAUGE:
Pattern stitch with US size 8 needles: approximately 17 stitches & 24 rows = 4”
Though exact gauge is not essential, this stitch pattern will look best with fairly tight stitches.
Significantly different gauge may require more yarn.
NEEDLES:
I used US size 8 knitting needles…but choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.
Circular knitting needles recommended for making a wrap in order to comfortably accommodate the number of stitches.
Straight knitting needles may be used for making a scarf.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy

Blocking of finished knitting is recommended.
