Do you love when people adorn their necks with the beautiful Noro Striped Scarf by Jared Flood, but the idea of doing 1×1 rib makes you shudder? Do you have a love affair with slip stitches or playing with color? Do you have Noro Matsuri, Tidiori or other similar yarn hanging around without a project in sight? Do you go gaga over any noro stripey yarn? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the scarf pattern for you😀

This is such a cool pattern!! I made the regular Noro striped scarf last year for a friend. I’ve queued this one up for myself!
I’m interested in the knitted border pattern on the top of your blog page. It’s in tri-color: eggplant, green 3 row of ribbing (I think) and 4th row something else?
Thanks for reading,

knittingknewbie,
I should’ve also asked what brand of yarn and color you knit the pattern stitch you use as the top of your blog border. 3-color eggplant/purple, green, tan.
Thanks again,

The pattern is Leftover Towel by Stephanie Haberman. It can be found for free here:

The yarn and colorway are Lily Sugar’n Cream in country side ombre.
This is a great pattern! Just love the colors. I’m an editor for FaveCrafts.com, and I took the liberty of linking to your blog from my roundup blog post of free scarf knitting patterns. You can check it out here. I also just published a collection of free scarf knitting patterns at our website if you are interested. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Your site is wonderful! I will link to you, too.😀
I picked up some Plymouth Yarns’ Gina, it’s looking great so far! The “original” pattern can be rather manly, but I love that this one sort of feminizes the pattern, it almost looks woven. Thanks so much for this!
Thank you for the sweet comment❤
I’m new to knitting. Please, what does Cc and MC mean?
mc = main color of yarn
cc = contrasting color of yarn
Welcome to the world of knitting😀 Hope this helps!
Not sure what I am doing wrong, but my version of this scarf looks nothing like the photo. I am using Plymouth Gina, very close to Noro Kureyon. I went down one needle size from the #7 recommended. And I have been watching my tension, but it is still pretty lacy instead of woven looking. Any ideas?
I think it all depends what you want the finished product to look like. You could be a really loose knitter, so a US size 5 or 6 might give you the fabric you are looking for. I am a tight crocheter, so I typically go up 2 hook sizes. The lacy version of this scarf can be pretty, too. The first time I made this pattern it was a little lacy.

I hope you can find what works. Whatever you choose, I am sure it will be beautiful🙂
Can this be made without changing yarns? Any idea of the effect?
Yes, it can be made using only one yarn. It creates a scarf with a beautiful textured look to it.
So absolutely pretty! Looks very warm and comfy, too. Is it possible to increase the size to make a stole or wrap?
Absolutely. Cast on as many stitches as you would like, as long as the number is a multiple of 3. I would love to see it when you are finished!
Thanks so much for the info! I will do my best!
