How To Knit An Easy Triangle Wrap For Fall

If you are looking for a complete beginner-friendly pattern, then learn how to knit an easy triangle wrap for fall.

In the spring I shared a simple garter stitch triangle scarf pattern and recently wanted to make a pattern that was similar but with bulky yarn.

This cozy fall wrap is a great alternative to wearing a jacket and will also be a great scarf when the weather gets colder.

An Easy-Level Knitting Pattern With Texture

This is an easy pattern for those of you who are advanced beginner level, and the techniques you will need to know are casting on the loop stitch and the knit stitch.

Using mainly knit stitches this free pattern will also introduce you to increasing using KFB – knitting into the front and back of a stitch.

There are also some drop stitches in the pattern, which break up the garter stitch rows.

Knitting The Triangle Scarf

This triangle scarf is really easy to make for any beginner as all you need to know are some basic knitting stitches.

You start with just two stitches on your needle which forms the point of your triangle and you build it from there, by adding stitches at both ends until you have a large triangle wrap.

The Yarn I Used…

I used super bulky yarn for this that I bought from the UK called Caron Tea Cakes (80% acrylic and 20% wool) in Ginger Spice 291220.

This was knit up quite quickly and used two cakes of self-striping yarn.

Any bulky weight yarn 05 will be okay to use for this pattern.

I knit this with size 8 mm (US 11) 32″ circular needles, I did not join in the round, but the cable made it easy as there were many stitches to knit.

How To Wear A Triangle Scarf

Once you have made your triangle scarf, you might want to wrap it around your neck to wear as a scarf, loosely drape it around your shoulders as a shawlette or wear it as a cover-up.

As you can see in some of the photographs I chose to wear this scarf around my neck because even though the sun is shining, the air is still a little chilly in the shade.

The yarn is really soft and comfortable to wear, you could use this type of scarf with any number of fall outfits.

• For a smaller size – when you are knitting, hold the scarf against yourself and see how the size is going as you knit. You will still need 2 x cakes of this yarn.
• For a larger size – you will need more of the yarn – 3 x cakes for the large size and 4+ for XXL.
• The larger sizes will need more stitches worked than given in the pattern – measure the scarf against yourself as you knit to see if it needs to be made larger.

Making up

You may want to add chunky tassels to each point of the scarf, you can view a tassel-making tutorial here. – How To Make Tassels {Photo + Video Tutorial}

TIP – Make the tassels before you start to knit the shawl – so that you don’t run out of yarn at the end and do not have enough.

Stitch one tassel to each corner point and weave in any loose ends.
