Rowan Rosie Scarf Knitting Pattern

Rowan Rosie Knitted Scarf

What is Being Made

The Rowan Rosie is a classic knitted scarf designed by Quail Studio. This accessory features approximate finished measurements of 35cm wide by 195cm long, making it a generous, versatile piece suitable for various styling options and seasons.

Knitting Techniques

The Rosie scarf is constructed using bottom-up and seamless construction methods, worked flat on straight needles. This approach allows knitters to build the scarf from the cast-on edge upward without requiring seaming, creating a continuous, unified fabric with clean finishing.

Stitches Used

This pattern utilizes garter stitch throughout the entire design. Garter stitch is created by knitting every row, producing a reversible, textured fabric with horizontal ridges that appear identical on both sides. This fundamental stitch is ideal for scarves as it provides excellent drape, warmth, and visual interest while remaining accessible to knitters of various skill levels.

Materials and Tools

• Yarn: 6 balls of Rowan Big Wool (shown in shade 064), worked doubled throughout the project for added warmth and texture
• Needles: 20mm (US35) needles for working with the doubled yarn
• Tension: 6 stitches and 9 rows measured over 10cm in garter stitch using 20mm needles and yarn doubled

Pattern Overview

Knitters begin by casting on 20 stitches using the doubled yarn and 20mm needles. The entire scarf is then worked in garter stitch until the piece reaches 195cm in length or the desired finished size, with sufficient yarn reserved for casting off. The pattern accommodates one size and is suitable for knitters seeking a straightforward, meditative project with impressive results.
