Fun Fur Scarf With Rounded Ends Knit Pattern

This is the generic pattern I created and use to make Fun Fur scarves.  By doing the increase and decrease rows in the beginning and end of the scarf, it gives the ends a more rounded appearance rather than stopping so abruptly.  Generally I use size 15 or 17 needles with 5 to 7 stitches wide for the narrow scarves and 1 ora 2 skeins of Fun Fur.   I've also made wider, more substantial scarves which could be used for warmth using 4 skeins of Fun Fur with double strands, size 10 needles and 14 stitches wide.  Currently I am working on one with a strand of white and a strand of red which I can wear to the Wisconsin Badger football games we attend in the fall. 

Cast on 2 stitches.
Row 1:  Knit
Row 2:  Increase in first stitch of the row (knit front and back) and knit across.
Repeat Row 2 until you have the desired number of stitches on your needle.

Knit in garter stitch to desired length.

Knit 2 stitches together at the beginning of each row until there are 2 stitches left.

Cast off.


This scarf took 2 skeins of yarn and was 7 stitches wide using size 15 needles.  It is 2 inches wide and 60 inches long.


This scarf was made with 1 skein of Fun Fur and was 7 stitches wide using size 17 needles.  It turned out to be 2.5 inches wide and 44 inches long.
