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.

Pattern Instructions
If you need help to start knitting the shawl you can view a tutorial on my Youtube channel here.
Cast on 2 sts.
Set-Up
Row 1: Knit
Row 2: KFB, KFB
Now start the pattern as follows:
- KFB into the first st, K, KFB into the last st.
- KFB into the first st, K, KFB into the last st.
- KFB into the first st, K, KFB into the last st.
- KFB into the first st, K, KFB into the last st.
- Make the loop stitch – in each st, insert the right-hand needle into the left-hand needle as if you are going to knit, then wind the yarn 2 times around the needle and K1.
- Knit each st, working the 1st loop and allowing the extra loops to slip off the needle to their full length.
Rows – 2- 6 form the pattern, rep those rows until you have 152 sts.
This is where you can easily adjust the size of the shawl.
To make it larger keep repeating rows 2-6 until you get your desired size.
You will need more yarn for a larger size.
Then cast off and weave in any loose ends.
Making up
You may want to add chunky tassels to each point of the scarf, you can view a tassel-making tutorial here.
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.
