Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight, 100% merino wool (recommended color: creamy white)
• Needles: US 6 (4.0 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
• Measuring tape: To check the length of the scarf

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 45 stitches onto your US 6 (4.0 mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your work.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes your first row of stockinette stitch.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This will create the foundation for the textured pattern.
4. Row 3: This is where the petal motif begins. Work as follows:
   • *Knit 1 stitch (K1), yarn over (yo), knit 2 together (k2tog); repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
5. Row 4: Purl all stitches across the row. This will help to define the petal shapes.
6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating Rows 1-4 until your scarf measures 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure consistency.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the scarf. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
8. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. This will give your scarf a clean finish. Finally, block your scarf gently to shape it, ensuring the delicate petal motifs are highlighted.

Now you have your very own Jasmine Petal Scarf! Enjoy wearing this elegant piece or gifting it to someone special. Happy knitting!
