Fisherman’s Rib Super Scarf

Fisherman’s Rib Super Scarf

This giant scarf or stole is very easy to knit and super warm, though it is not a fast project. It will be well worth the effort on the coldest days of winter!

It was inspired by the Super Scarf, a very wide and very long scarf, though mine is not quite as long as those (they usually run around 10 feet long). You can always make yours longer if you want, but you will need more yarn.

What you need

2 balls Istex Alafosslopi in color 1236, Burnt Orange
4 balls Istex Alafosslopi in color 57, Gray Heather
or about 200 yards of contrast color and 400 yards of main color in bulky weight yarn of your choice
size 13 US (9 mm) knitting needles

Gauge:
Gauge is not critical but I got 9 stitches per 4 inches/10 cm in Fisherman’s Rib

Size:
Finished scarf is about 16.5 inches/42 cm wide and about 7 feet/a little more than 2 meters long

Work in Fisherman’s Rib (see below) for 12 inches/30.5 cm.

Change to main color and work in Fisherman’s Rib for 5 feet/1.5 meters.
