I designed this pattern with versatility in mind. The clean, classic stripes give it that timeless collegiate look, and the colour-blocked design makes it easy to customize for any school or sports team. Picture it in your alma mater’s colours, your child’s team shades, or even in neutral tones for an everyday accessory – the options are endless.
The Collegiate Scarf is knit in the round using a circular or double pointed needles – mostly knit stitches with knit & purl stitches for the ribbing. It makes for a perfect project for confident beginners. The ribbed ends give it a polished, professional finish, while the generous length allows for plenty of cozy wrapping.
