It's amazing how free knit scarf patterns and completed scarves can be so rewarding...easy projects that offer great satisfaction. Wrap one of those around your own neck and enjoy. Handknit scarves also make great gifts.

The wonderful thing about scarves is that even if free knit scarf patterns are your very first knitting projects (a great choice), with the right selection of yarn the simplest stitch appears masterful and looks fabulous. Any simple pattern can be paired with a textured yarn for spectacular results. Those long narrow scarves, which are so popular now, work up rapidly and are ideal for first projects. Even the experienced knitter can experiment with new stitches on a scarf as practice for that planned knit project requiring more challenging stitch work. Free knit scarf patterns run the gamut from truly simple to quite involved. Have you seen the Harry Potter-inspired Hogwarts Scarf?
