Pattern: Garter Stitch Chevron Scarf

I'd love to knit that scarf especially with any Sundara!

I have been meaning to make a chevron scarf in Sundara sock forever. Yours looks great!

So pretty! The colors look so happy and fun!

I love this! Pretty spring colors and no purling! :)

Beautiful! I love those colours together.

Seeing various patterns in your yarn makes me want to knit all of them whether I like the pattern or not. Sundara yarn just makes everything look better.
I happen to love this pattern however and would LOVE to make it in these colors.

Stunning scarf! Thank you for posting your modifications to this pattern.

Brilliant modification!! I can see many of these knit up in the future!

What bright cheerful colors! This scarf would be a perfect spring gift!

Gotta love that garter stitch! And the Sundara sock yarn of course.

i'd love to give this a shot. would be my first grown-up knit :-)

I've tried that pattern and couldn't make myself finish it, but looking at yours, I think it was because of the colours I chose. I LOVE yours, just love the colours, and I really like it in garter stitch!

Nice pattern mod - the scarf looks great. Also good to know the yarn quantity needed to make the scarf - I've been contemplating making this pattern and now I know how much yarn I need! Thanks for the pattern mods!

How clever! The one thing I don't love about my chevron scarf is that there's a "wrong" side. Knitting it in garter certainly eliminates that issue, doesn't it? Well done! I love that book, and of course I love your yarn.

your scarf is perfect for spring with its cheerful colours. Thanks for the pattern and your generous offer.

Your scarf looks so happy and Spring-like. It makes me think that this snow will someday go away! Although I do love wearing a beautiful scarf - especially made in Sundara. I may have to go and peruse the sock yarn inventory!!!

i've been meaning to knit that pattern for a long long time...this might just be the push i need! before i got to the part about the contest, i was trying to think about what colorways of your sock yarn i have at home that i could use for that scarf...

(altho my husband says i need to stop making scarves!)

LOVE the color combo too!!! Your yarn/coloways are amazing!!

Who wouldn't want such warm & happy colours in the middle of a week of snow?

Love those beautiful colors. Such a pretty scarf!

Oooh I hope I win. I'd knit this up right away :)

Lovely, I'd love to knit this.

That's beautiful! I would love to knit one.

I would LOVE to knit a beautiful scarf in the same colorways! Yours is fabulous. Thanks for the pattern.

Very clever pattern mods, and great color combination. I love yellows and oranges. Thanks for the directions.

Your scarf is truly beautiful. If I was granted this beautiful yarn, I would knit it up right away as a gift for my Mom :-)

Beautiful color combination, and I love the garter stitch switch.

What a beautiful scarf! I would love to knit one!

No purling, and no curling! (The original has a bit of a curling issue, I've heard.) It's great, just beautiful.

Love those colors together. I think I like the garter stitch version better than the original.

Looks great and very happy for the middle of winter.

Your scarf is lovely and I plan on making one for sure! Thank you for the pattern and as usual your lovely colors!

These colors are amazing together. The pattern is great. I can just feel the loft and softness of theis scarf in my mind.

Very pretty! I've done a couple of chevron scarves, and I love the results! But I do remember a bad case of pattern fatigue by the time I was near finishing.

Probably time to knit another one!

Beginner question: How do you deal with two different yarns when the color changes every few rows? Carry the yarn up the sides? Break yarn and start again? Thanks...

Beautiful! I have been in awe of your gift for color - you are a true artist. I myself have no such gift, so it just makes me admire you more ; ).

I love your yarns and would love to win and knit the chevron scarf.

I got a copy of that book as a gift -- I didn't notice that scarf at the time, but this has certainly made me look at it again! Lovely!

Wow. Those colors are so bright and cheerful!! I totally don't remember the scarf in the book ... it must be the colors that does it.

Dahlia and daffodil....a burst of color on a snowy day!

It's a beautiful scarf! Love the color combo and I'd love to knit one too.

Beautiful colors. That's a yellow that even a redhead like me would wear.

Very nice adaptation of that pattern to make it a reversible scarf. The original stockinette looks smooth and sophisticated; all-garter a little more relaxed. Either way it's a great pattern.

I love the "spring" look of your scarf. I would love to knit one out of your beautiful yarn.

How beautiful! I can't wait to knit the scarf-it is a great pattern and the colors you chose are beautiful.

Awesome scarf! I'd love to knit one in Sundara Sock!

What a beautiful color combination and I love the look of the garter stitch. I'll have to start one of my own soon. Thanks for sharing the pattern with us.

Wow! That's so beautiful, now I want one, in those exact colors (hint hint!!) And it's my 30th birthday today!! (hint hint!!) Oh pick me random number generator!

I would love to knit this scarf in any of the colorways of your lovely yarns. The colors are dramatic and unique and I find their colorway names so charming.

The scarf looks great! I'm searching for an easy but still interesting pattern for a scarf forever, this finally is one. So I'll definitely knit this scarf!

I love it! Why didn't I think of doing it in garter?! That is totally going on my "to knit" list. Thanks!

I've never used your yarn and would love to give it a try. Your colorways are gorgeous. Regardless of whether I win, I plan to make the scarf. Thank you for the pattern.

Lovely scarf and great colors for a winter pick me up.

I absolutely love these two colorways together!! I have been wanting to make this scarf for a long time. So gorgeous!

Your sock yarn is the best!

Your sock yarn is the best!

I would love to knit this scarf. So bright and cheery for Spring!

I'd love to knit that scarf for spring.

great scarf! I love the bright colors since we're supposed to be having rainy days like today all week long! So much fun with a 2-year old haha

So pretty and spring-y! I love those colors together. Here's hoping the random number generator is in my favor....

And 'Last-Minute Knitted Gifts' is one of my favorite books, I've had it almost since it came out. I do like your variation!

Dahlia, my favorite summer flower and daffodil my favorite spring flower. This scarf could not come at a better time -- just when winter is about to get the best of you. Thank you for the great pattern and color combination.

Wow that is beautiful! I will have to make one!

Wow! That is gorgeous! I'm definitely going to make one in garterstitch.

Your chevron scarf is beautiful! I love the idea of doing it in garter; you can show off both sides! I'm definitely going to have to try that - thanks for sharing with us!

Love the scarf and love the pattern. Looks like an easy knit. Thanks for sharing!

So bright and happy, lovely to look at on this dreary day.

Good evening from snowy Colchester in England

Your scarf looks gorgeous and I would love to have a go but being quite new to knitting I don't understand how you 'KF&B'! Could you advice a new and confused knitter please?

Thank you in anticipation

Tracy

love those colors!

Absolutely love it! Beautiful scarf - wonderful yarn - love it!

Gorgeous color combo. It makes me think of Spring. Love it!!

That is a lovely scarf, thanks for the pattern! I am putting it on my spring to-do list

Lovely and stunning scarf! Makes me long for Spring. I like this pattern so much better in the garter stitch version. It will be faster knitting as well, as I'm much slower at purling.

Beautiful color combination. Reminds me of my favorite dahlia, Swan's Desert Storm. Unbelievably beautiful.

Beautiful color combination. Reminds me of my favorite dahlia, Swan's Desert Storm. Unbelievably beautiful.

This pattern has been in my queue forever. I think it's just jumped to the top! Beautiful!

I would LOVE to knit this gorgeous scarf!!

I love the colors you chose for your scarf. Thanks for sharing your pattern. I have made 2 per the pattern in Last Minute Gifts, but the squishiness of garter stitch is a very compelling reason to knit another scarf.

I would love to knit this easy scarf in Sundara yarn!

Lovely zingy colours!! Its a great idea of how to make a scarf out of all those single skeins of sock yarn that I have in my stash.

Do you carry the unused yarn up the side of the scarf? And if so, is there an issue with it being more raised on one side than the other??

Can't wait to knit this scarf -- me! me! me!

Me again and it's still snowing in Colchester!

I've worked out what KF & B mean but I can't get the stitches to add up on row 1. Should there be something between the final k2 tog 8 times and the k2 tog 4 times?

Row 1: K2tog 4 times, KF&B 8 times, K2tog 8 times, K2tog 4 times

Thank you for your help all

Love that scarf! Sometimes you run into a pattern and yarn combo that you just have to have...and this is one of those!

I love this color combination and your mods! I've made this scarf a few time with more variegated yarns so this version, as well as the garter stitch, seems fresh and new to me.

I've never knitted a chevron scarf. I'm going to do this one. It looks hard, but I think I can do it easily. Thanks. Ronnie

The colors look like a spring sunrise, and we still have feet of snow on the ground after a week of warmer weather. We even got to shovel the roof!

I really like the look of this scarf, and as so many others have said, really like the way that the garter stitch makes it reversible! But I wanted to follow up on Tracy's 11:54 post, because I too was having a hard time seeing how the increases and decreases added up...Should the second 'K2tog 4 times' in fact be 'Kf&b 4 times' so that there is the same number of increased and decreased stitches? Or am I missing something (entirely possible!!) Thanks for any clarification!!

Ah, just read your update!! That makes sense--thanks!! Can't wait to try it! Luckily, I have some of your yarn in my stash...

I cannot resist a contest (especially a Sundara one!).... not that I even win anything.

Very cute scarf!

Beautiful color combination. Love it!

Thanks for sharing the pattern! It looks great, especially in those colors!

Beautiful scarf! I've knit two chevron-esque scarves w/ Sundara yarn (one FSM, one sock) and they are my favorite!

Beautiful colors! Perfect for a spring scarf.

That's a beautiful scarf, and I like the no-purl modification. Thanks for giving it to us.

Gorgeous Scarf - so perfect for your love colorways. Thanks for posting the pattern.

--Anne

Love it and can't wait to make one! Thanks for sharing.

Oooo, Dahlia is one of my favorite Sundara yarns of all time! Count me in!

Great idea to do this in garter stitch. I would like it much more. And your yarns are so sunny and cheerful, although I love your alternate color scheme, too. Thanks for posting this.

I love the scarf! The coulours are gorgeous (of course!) :)

I have always wanted to knit the chevron or fan and feather type patterns I see out there...just haven't done it yet! The all garter stitch sounds great to me ( I hate to purl). This scarf would look great in light springy colors like in the picture.
Thanks for the contest. Fun!

I already own LMKG, so I could use the yarn to make the original style scarf, and compare to yours. Or make one just like yours.

Thanks.

Love the color combination. Would love to own something knitted by you.

Beautiful colors - and I love the idea of fan and feather in all garter stitch!

This scarf is gorgeous! So simple, but such a wonderful use of texture and color. I can think of many stunning Sundara sock yarn combinations that would look fabulous--definitely going to the top of my queue! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I love your scarf! Garter stitch is the best.

Awesome awesome awesome color combo. I would LOVE that scarf.

I love the alternate pattern as I have already made the original-I KNOW I would enjoy knitting this one more! And your colors are wonderful, especially for this time of year in the Pacific Northwest! I need those colors! If I don't win then you need to help us by making those colors available for purchase right away! Thank you for a great idea but mostly for your wonderful yarn that I love!!!!!!!

Your yarns are just scrumptious and are shown off best with a simple stitch like the one used in this scarf. Glorious!

I am needing to make a quick gift and this pattern will be perfect. Now I need to think of something to create with your new lovely mohair yarn.

I know just who I would make this scarf for!

LOVE your scarf!! Would love to win the yarn to make one myself!!

Nice color combo!

Beautiful! I totally need to make one.

I looking forward to spring with those beautiful warm colors!

What a great scarf. Looking through my stash now to see what colors I have that would look together. Thanks.

Your scarf is delightfully springy! Love the colors and love the garter stitch! thanks for sharing.

Love your colors, this scarf looks like fun to knit and to wear. Thanks for the pattern and your beautiful yarns.

What a lovely scarf! I can't wait to make one.

Could there be anyone who wouldn't want a couple of skeins of your yarn? I'd love to knit the garter stitch Chevron scarf.

Lovely colour combination, the pattern really lets the colours shine through. I'm glad that you have time to knit up some of your beautiful yarn. I'm currently making a pair of mittens in Sundara sock Beaded Turquoise and Cactus Flower and it's a great yarn to work with.

Love this!! Beautiful color combination.

I love this! I have made the scarf the original way but, I am so going to try it this way it seems so much easier. No purling YAY! And yours is beautiful! Those are my two favorite colorways too! :)

I would never have thought to put those colours together, but I love the result... beautiful scarf! And perfect for spring!

When I saw the picture I exclaimed, "That's it!" I didn't realize it but I have been looking for a scarf just like this! Beautiful. I hope I have a chance to knit it.

What a gorgeous scarf to chase away the winter blahs! I would love to knit one just the same!

This is so springlike! I would love to knit myself one!

Love the squishy texture doing it your way. Looks much softer than the original. And I'm sure it would be extra delightful done in your yarn!

Sundara that looks gorgeous. I'm knitting mine from the original pattern using two shades from the Santa Fe collection: Adobe and Beaded Turquoise and I love how it's coming out, but it's going to be a present for my sister, so I might just have to do a garter stitch version for me too.

Beautiful! I love seeing new ways to use sock yarn, and those colorways are stunning.

Beautiful! Colorado needs this beautiful brightness against the starkness of all the dreary white snow! Winter be gone and Spring begin!

I would love to knit this scarf, but in different colors.

Do Ruby Port and Cranberry Chutney look good together? It's hard to tell from the screen. If not, what color would you suggest with Ruby Port?

I cast on for the original version of this scarf sooooooo long ago, and finally frogged it. I lost interest. Your post has rekindled my interest, but the original yarn is long used up in other projects. To be able to use Sundara yarn would be SO decadent!!

happy colors! would love to use them in with this pattern.

Lovely! Those colors are the perfect anodyne to the dreary grey skies and rain we've had in Boston!

I've been trying to figure out a color combo to use for this pattern for quite awhile, and I love the fresh, sunny look of this particular combo. I'd be thrilled to have one just like it!

Love this scarf but I need to know how to KF&B - probably knit forward and back....but please explain - I am in U.K.......thanks.

Oh that is such a pretty scarf! I hope I win, I hope I win, I hope I win!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much Sundara and your random number generator! Both Dahlia and Daffodil arrived safely at my doorstep and are truly stunning. Your photography is wonderful, but seeing the yarn in person takes it to another level. Thank you again!!

I have been wanting to knit this scarf for some time now, but could not decide on the colors. I would love to knit this scarf in your choice of colors.
