Product Description
Ribs and welts collide to create striking angles at each end of this fun yet classic scarf. The angles may be hard but the knitting is easy, using only knit and purl stitches, plus strategically placed increases and decreases to maintain an even width. The scarf is fully reversible with an optional fringe.
This knitting pattern includes both a chart and written instructions.
Substitution Notes The specified yarn is a bulky weight, knitting up at 3 to 3.75 sts per inch (2.5 cm) on 6 to 8 mm (US 10-11) needles. Other gauges may be substituted and they'll affect the overall width of the scarf. It can easily be made as long or short as you like. A smooth yarn will show the rib and welt pattern best. Choose a yarn that feels nice against the skin. Fibre content is not critical.
Techniques Increase (kfb) / decrease (p2tog), working simple stitch pattern from chart or written instructions, slipped stitch selvedge, fringe.
Hard Right Scarf by Holli Yeoh
What Is Being Made
Hard Right is a fully reversible knit scarf designed by Holli Yeoh that measures 8 x 54 inches (20 x 137 cm) before optional fringe. This striking accessory features bold geometric angles created where ribs and welts meet at each end, combining contemporary design with classic knitting fundamentals. The reversible construction means both sides of the finished scarf are equally beautiful and wearable.
Knitting Techniques Used
The Hard Right scarf employs strategic increases and decreases to create its signature angled design while maintaining an even width throughout the body of the piece. These shaping techniques work in concert with the ribbed and welted stitch patterns to produce the striking angular collisions at each end. The pattern is designed for beginner knitters, as the techniques remain straightforward despite the visually complex final result. Optional fringe can be added using a crochet hook for additional embellishment.
Stitches Used
This pattern uses only fundamental knitting stitches, making it accessible for those new to the craft. The primary stitches are:
- Knit stitch – the foundation of the stockinette sections
- Purl stitch – used in combination with knit stitches to create the ribbed and welted textures
- Increases and decreases – strategically placed to form the geometric angles
The scarf features 3 x 2 ribbing in sections, which creates the textured welts that collide to form the hard angles characteristic of the design.
Materials and Tools
Hard Right requires bulky weight yarn totaling 385 yards (350 meters). The pattern is shown worked in Knit Picks Simply Wool Bulky, a 100% eco wool yarn, using 2 skeins in the colorway Wanda. Knitters should use 6mm (US 10) straight or circular needles to achieve the correct gauge of 13.5 stitches and 20 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch when blocked. The ribbed sections measure 35 stitches across 8 inches (20 cm) in 3 x 2 ribbing. A size J crochet hook is needed only if adding the optional fringe finish. Needle gauge should be adjusted as necessary to match the specified measurements for proper fit and drape.
