This big, snuggly scarf features eye-catching KNIT letters. The repeated text is created with just knit and purl stitches, which means that the scarf is a great way to learn reading charts.

The length is easily adjustable. Make fewer or more repeats to make the scarf shorter or longer. Make sure to always work a full 20-row repeat to keep the stitch pattern and text intact.
