Nautilina Scarf

Free Knitting Pattern: Nautilina Scarf
This crescent shaped scarf is knitted
all in garter stitch from side to side. Its shaped by short rows and only grows very slowly in width, all increases are made in the middle of the piece.

When finished and laid out straight, the scarf will measure about 160cm on the shorter (C1-only-)side.

Compared to the first idea (as shown here) quite a few changes to the design have been made.

Nautilina is the spanish word for Nautilus (see on Wikipedia) – and I think the scarf’s pattern looks a bit similar.

Materials:

  • 3.5 mm knitting needles
  • two stitch markers, one of them removable
  • tapestry needle (to weave in ends)

Tips:Free Knitting Pattern: Nautilina Scarf
  • I found it useful to place a stitch marker (safety pin) after finishing row 16, then counting from there, I’d increase in C1 (main colour) after the second C2 (contrast colour) stripe and increase in contrast colour in the fourth stripe.
  • Stay consistent as to how to cross your yarns when changing colours; I always put the new (to be used) yarn UNDER and behind the old yarn (see photo).
