I simply love this purl stitch scarf pattern. It’s easy and works up quite quickly. I used a lovely yarn of royal purple, lavender and grey merino wool to work up a scarf for myself.
I love how versatile this scarf is, as it is also a shawl.
This purl stitch scarf is very lightweight and makes a nice addition to those Spring and early Fall days when just a little something is needed, but nothing too heavy.
I’ve paired the scarf with a light jacket on slightly cooler days, or with tees and tanks on warmer days with jeans. The shawl works very nicely with dresses and goes from day to evening in a snap!
I plan to make more of these in a couple of other shades for myself and even for a friend of mine who loved mine so much that I’m going to make one for her birthday! Or maybe even a couple for her as well.
Like I said, this purl stitch scarf pattern is quick and easy and feels and looks wonderful. You can get the pattern here.

This purl stitch scarf pattern is worked as knitted on the wrong side with some purl stitch to create a lovely stockinette design.
The purl stitch scarf pattern here works out to be a versatile triangular shape that can also be worn as a shawl. Additionally, the design works beautifully with hand-dyed yarns to show off their unique color schemes.
The purl stitch is one of the two basic stitches every knitter must learn, the other being the knit stitch. The stockinette stitch, as used in this pattern, is also a must learn for every beginning knitter. For more on the purl stitch, see this tutorial, and this tutorial for the stockinette stitch.
