The Pattern

The Holly Scarf is an easy beginner-friendly knit pattern that only uses the garter and ribbing stitches. It is a fun and quick weekend project that assure you warmth through the winter months. It is the perfect accessory for the winter.

The Design Story

The Holly Scarf was designed alongside the Holly Earmuffs. I was asked to collaborate with a group of Asian designers for a Lunar New Year's crochet giveaway and added this beginner-friendly scarf with the Holly Earmuffs for the winners to have a free knit pattern to try out.

Sometimes I meet new makers that only know how to do one or the other and I am always excited to hear when a maker is determined to learn the other art. To encourage the mentality of wanting to learn a new yarn craft, I designed a knit pattern to throw in the mix of crochet patterns.
