How to Make a Funky DIY Ruffle Scarf in a Few Simple Steps

Tools and materials:

• Knitting needles
• Yarn
• Scissors

1. Create six stitches

To start off, grab the end of the yarn and put the needle through. That will be your first stitch. Then hold the fabric out by about an inch (2.5cm), put the needle through again, and that’s your second stitch. This scarf is going to have six stitches across in width, so repeat the process six times.

2. Make the second row

For the second row, hold the fabric out by about an inch (2.5cm), put your other needle through the first stitch, grab where you’re holding, and pull that through. Watch the video to see the full technique.

When you get to the last stitch on the first row with your second needle, make sure you grab all of that yarn when you bring the stitch through. 

The further apart you do your stitches, the more swirl the scarf is going to have.

This yarn is a little different, but I’m going to do the same basic technique. I’m only going to do four stitches though, because it stretches out more.

3. Finish the scarf

To finish off, instead of grabbing one stitch, you want to grab two at a time. And for the last row, since there are only three stitches left, I’m going to grab them all, but this time bring all the fabric through. With that, make a knot, cut off the extra, and you’re done!
