Braided - Free Pattern!

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

Scarf knitting season is finally here! Maybe for some of you, like me, it never left. I am thrilled to be bringing Braided to you as a free pattern today. This is a fast and fun scarf that you can whip up on big needles in no time at all. It’s the perfect gift scarf for the holiday seasons ahead. The easy care/machine washable Outer yarn makes it even more appealing.

Here is some information you may want to know at a glance:

3 skeins of Spud & Chloë Outer (I used Soapstone #7200)

US size 17 needles or size to obtain gauge

US size 13 double-pointed needles, set of 4

Gauge: 1.75 sts per inch in stockinette stitch

The scarf involves ribbing (knit and purl stitches) and I-cord and braiding. If you can do those techniques you are all set to go!

Click here to download the pattern for Braided!

Look here for a series of video tutorials on how to knit Braided!

Enjoy.

Please note: When beginning a Rib Section after a Braided Section the yarn will be set to start a Row 2 or wrong side of the rib pattern.

    THANK YOU !!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!
    I have been waiting for this pattern to appear. When you first posted the photo, I fell in love with it. I am not a scarf knitter. 37 years ago, a scarf was my first project. I knit it so tight, it rolled into a tube that couldn’t be uncurled. It ended up being a door draft stopper. I am now searching my LYS for Spud and Chloe yarn. Also, I MUST find the Hoot Owl baby hat pattern. After 4 beautiful granddaughters, ages 1-6, my first grandson is due in 5 weeks. He has to have this hat for winter. I am caregiver to these precious children 5 days a week. What a life.

    Again, thank you for your generosity, giving us another great free pattern.

      Yvonne,
      I downloaded the pdf fine on this end so I am not sure what is going on.

      I tried to send you the pdf through your email but for some reason comcast email addresses don’t work for me. Let me know if you have a different email and I will try to send you the pdf.

    I just love the braided scsarf pattern, but have been unable to

    print it out. Can you help. Regards Joy Rowe

      Hi Joy,
      I just clicked on the link and it appears to be working fine. I’m not sure what the problem is on printing.

      I tried to email you the pattern pdf but can’t seem to get your email address to work. If you want to email me (the address is on the blog sidebar at the top) I can try again or maybe you have an alternative email address.

    I was having trouble printing too. This happens to me with PDFs sometimes. I downloaded the PDF and then e-mailed it to myself. Then I saved that version to my desktop, and it printed fine. I have no idea why, but it worked!

    I have the Outer Flannel yarn ready to go. I’m excited to get started!

      Ooooh, great tip! I never know what to say when the pdf doesn’t print because all I can do on my end is make sure the pdf downloads. This is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this scarf, am now on my third. Found your website and found a love for knitting. I started knitting 3 weeks ago and then broke my arm ( but I found a way to knit!) Every time I show this scarf to a friend, they ask me to knit one for them! Thanks for the pattern, love to open my mail and see what is next!
