The Baby Pom Scarf Pattern

Published on September 18, 2018 By revblog | May contain affiliate links (whats this?)

What could be more delightful than a pair of fluffy pom poms? Like little bunny tails, they beckon to be petted or thrown in the air with a little whoop!

The Baby Pom Scarf knits up quickly in a beginner-friendly two-row pattern that’s a cinch to memorise. This flexible pattern works for toddlers, preschoolers, tweens, teens and even young-at-heart adults! Knit with bulky weight yarn, this scarf makes a quick, weekend knit.

 

Yarn: 1 skein of Tjockt Martta the Merino (100% extrafine merino; 140 meters/200g) in color Magenta. Scarf requires approximately 102 meters/112 yds.

Similar yarns: Lana Grossa Ragazza (1-ply) and MillaMia Soft Super Chunky (2-ply)

Recommended Needles: one pair of 10mm (US 15) straight needles (use a needle size that gives you the gauge listed below. Every knitter’s gauge is unique!)

Notions:

  • pom pom maker or DIY one with cardboard
  • ruler or tape measure
  • pair of sharp scissors
  • tapestry needle

Finished Measurements:

Length: 56 inches
Width: 4 inches

Gauge: 13sts = 4 inches/10cm in 1×1 rib (K1, P1 pattern)

Instructions:

Using the longtail cast on, CO 13 sts, making sure to leave a longer tail (approximately 10 inches).

Row 1: Sl1 purlwise, *K1, P1; repeat from * to end

Row 2: Sl1 knitwise, *P1, K1; repeat from * to end

Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until scarf measures 56 inches or desired length.

Cast off in pattern, leaving a 10 inch tail and cut yarn.

Weave 10 inch yarn tail along length of cast off edge. Pull tightly to bunch up cast off edge so that it becomes a blunt point. Secure by making a knot and weave in ends.

Repeat on the other end of the scarf: weave the long tail yarn into the length of the cast on edge. Pull tightly to bunch up the edge and secure with a knot.

Pom Pom

Make two pom poms 2.5 inches in diameter. Secure one pom pom to each end of the scarf and weave in ends.

Abbreviations:

* : repeat sequence between * and * as many times as indicated
CO: cast on
K: knit
Sl1 knitwise: Slip 1 stitch off the needle as if to knit
Sl1 purlwise: Slip 1 stitch off the needle as if to purl
St(s): stitch(es)

    I love your delightful, brightful site! The music, your nimble fingers, and the dancing yarns. You taught me to knit in January 2015. I watched your tutorials on my iPhone. Thank you!!! I’m loving knitting and since learning have made about two dozen scarves (several of which I’ve had the confidence to give as gifts:) Just ordered your Baby PomPom Scarf kit to try some of the Finnish yarn you work with so often. Made me happy just to place the order. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion!!!
