Easy Beginner Knit Super Simple Rib and Lace Scarf Cowl

[@agemoth]

Wow, This is the most beautiful button cowl I have seen on KZbin! So easy too! And I love how it only uses one skein of yarn! It's perfect for when I get gorgeous discontinued yarn that I can't make a big project with!

[@attiyamir3500]

Your tutorials are great, thank you Marly! This scarf is so beautiful and you make it much easier to follow. The buttons create an attractive accent😊

[@ctapley5409]

I do enjoy all of the KZbin videos. Your patterns are great. Thank you

[@ellenweigold4408]

Love this beautiful pattern. So glad you show English and Continental. I'm a continental knitter so thanks for that.

[@reneeh4406]

Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern... Your instructions are very clear and easy to understand and you have such a pleasant way of delivering the instructions. I also really appreciate how you show using the throw method. I guess it's called for holding the yarn so many times when people are doing the Continental way it gets confusing to look at so it's much more clear when you handle it this way. Also, thank you for all the effort you put into these

[@MiriamMcDade]

Love it 😊

[@vvolpe572]

I just completed my rib and lace scarf cowl. I used 100% wool bulky yarn (5) with size 10 needles-it turned out so beautiful! I showed a neighbor the finished piece and she fell in love with it! It was, like you said, Marly, Super Simple! While knitting it, I used life lines so if did make a mistake, I could easily recover. Thank you for all the great patterns and videos!

[@tatianaterriesmith8471]

Thank you for sharing you explain so well love listening to you so talented❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@MarlyBird]

You are so welcome

[@hudamohammedelzehery8216]

I admire everything you do.

I loved the BiCrafty Games and when I heard about the sock classes I could not wait. I was so excited I bought the class as soon as Marly said it was there. I missed clicking on the stitch pattern book so I went back and bought that too. I have made crocheted socks before but they were really slipper-like socks (too bulky for regular socks). I'm looking forward to learning how to make regular socks because I've wanted to do this for decades (yes, decades). And the big plus is learning from anatomy of the sock and fiber through the stitches. The biggest bonus of all is the visual stitch patterns. So excited.

[@sharyn57]

Love your videos. They're so easy to follow. I'm making this now to have a break from crochet. After a while my hands get very sore. I've been knitting for over 50 years but only learnt to crochet a few years ago from KZbin tutorials.

[@patriciahathaway8621]

Thank You Marly! Great pattern. I am disabled and have taken up knitting again. It helps me with the long days.Praise God.

[@bonnadowns524]

Another gorgeous pattern again❤️💝 Thank you Marly🙏for sharing your video with us

[@MarlyBird]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Bellanewmoon21]

I love how easy this pattern is! I also want to make a lot more scarves and cowls with it :) Glad I found your pattern.

[@sharon4292]

Wow love it. Thanks for sharing

[@IzaK710]

I knit continental style and I think it's easier and requires less movements to knit so it's faster, too. And when you demonstarate knitting both styles that becomes more evidente. Thanks for this beautiful pattern.

[@deborahpoulson6252]

Love the pattern! I haven't picked up knitting needles in years. Always crocheting. But I saw this and I have to make it. Thanks again.

[@manewmana]

This will make a great shawl too. I’m going to try it. I might cast on more stitches and try it. We need some prayer shawls for my church.

[@karisajantz7382]

Thank you Marly! I really appreciate a great project that you can make on a budget. (I don't have a lot of money to buy yarn at the moment.) Your tutorials are wonderful!! Please do more "one ball of yarn" patterns/projects. 😃

[@seemajain44]

Loved the way you taught it very easily .will try to make one .lovely looking scarf .

[@annabellecambier4685]

So easy to understand and very clever! Thanks so much for your cheerful creativity!

[@gailc.norden962]

This is going to be the next scarf I do. Just started knitting, but your videos are so clear and simple I think I can do it.

[@conniechapin1472]

I love all your videos!! You’re such an awesome teacher!!!

[@smacd8834]

Wow! So pretty!

[@honibear6478]

Oh Marly that pattern is simply beautiful and simple. After many many years I’m still a novice when it comes to knitting...this I think I can do..it’s on my “to knit” list. Thanks

[@rachelvivian4405]

I have a ball of chroma that is just asking to be made into this! I can't wait to get to this on my to-do list.

[@CindyKinney]

Another lovely one, Marly. You rock!

[@theastewart6721]

Another winner! I’m really loving these one skein projects! The lace pattern is easy and at the same time looks lovely. I too prefer circular needles. Thanks for sharing!

[@theastewart6721]

And the buttons are a wonderful idea! Love them on these last 2 patterns!

[@jagdishjawa8162]

[@rez_woman6216]

very nice 😀 I really needa start knittn again... thank you 👍

[@aidahartmann3473]

Started working it once I got home from the crafting for charity group at church. So easy to get the repeated pattern going once I switched to my bamboo needles. I was in such a rush, I couldn’t find my #10 metal needles so started on my (very, very old) Susan Bates, Quick Silver needles and ugh! This yarn wasn’t sliding too well on these needles. Switched to my waxy Clover bamboos and worked so much better! The yarn feels a little fuzzy and felty in my hands. Otherwise, easy to work with. Nice pattern Marly, thanks!

[@MarlyBird]

yay! I wondered if you would make one Aida! Can't wait to see you in it. You will have to tell the ladies at church to take your picture so you can share it with me :-) oxoxo

[@aidahartmann3473]

Halfway there! Will do.

[@acerjuglans]

Oooooooooo! Perfect timing! I have several skeins of yarn I just found after unpacking and setting up my new crafting space - and this is the perfect project to use them for! And just in time for holiday knitting gift ideas! Awesome job again, Marly! Thank you so so so much!

You are so good. I wish I could knit Continental. I can only knit the other way. My fingers just won't work the right way when trying Continental. it took me weeks to become proficient at throwing my yarn.

[@0523SHARON]

Marly you have the best videos, thanks for all you do!!! How did I just find your “yarn thing ” podcast??? I’m a subscriber but didn’t even know about it 🤪 I am gonna binge watch them all now 🧶♥️👍🏼

[@g-huongtiana9427]

Thank you for the detailed instruction. Would you please tell me the number of the stitches that you started with on the finished cowl/scarf and how long is it? Thank you.

[@cortheniabolin7363]

By the way, I knit too, besides crochet. I taught myself how to knit a long time ago, then I taught myself how to crochet by looking at your tutorials. 🤪🤪🤪

[@annashmus7353]

I learned to knit in college and it has been a great help to me thru the years I am 88 now. Cannot knit socks anymore , but can still do blankets and scarves

[@chantalparkhill5606]

Love this scarf. Do you happen to have a knit pattern for hat to match for a beginner?

[@daniellehayward1433]

Hi Marly how do you increase the width? You did 3x 8 clusters plus 3 extra stitches when casting on which gives overall 27 stitches but if for example I want to do 4x 8stitch clusters how many extra plus stitches would I add? And how many extra buttons would that be please? I'm currently recovering from frozen shoulder so try to learn how to knit 🙊 I am very crafty my favourite at the moment is my 15th century bobbinlace making but finding that a tad hard with my bad arm. So found you and this pattern and I'm going to have a go in memory of my late father who was a pro knitter till the good age of 95. Here goes nothing 🤷‍♀️ thanks for your help. Oh can you confirm grams wise how much wool it will use please as I am in the UK 🇬🇧

[@valeriewilliamson7936]

Hi can you use super chunky wool or just chunky.

[@J8940lm1]

What is the best size button to use?

[@lonitawhaley5345]

Hi Marly! I have a question for you. I'm working on this pattern but I'm having a problem. My ribbing does not finish similarly on each side. The side that starts with a purl stitch keeps coming out loser. I always snug the beginning stitch to keep it looking nice, but in this case it's not performing for me like that usually does. I even tried twisting the stitch to see if that would create an equal appearance. Still no luck. What technique do you have up your sleeve? :) Thanks for your videos! They are great :)

[@Bindersandcash19]

Could you please tell me how wide and long the cowl is and is this aaran type yarn, wondering what i could you as live in the UK. x

[@amyahdocq8835]

Oh! Do I love your pointy needles... which one are they?????

[@MarlyBird]

I am using ChiaGoo needles.

[@amyahdocq8835]

Marly Bird thank you 💝

[@rosierurosie]

I’m a beginner knitting and I was wondering if I could use the appropriate size needle for the yarn I want to use or do I need to use size 10?

[@MarlyBird]

Use whatever you get gauge with to get the same size as mine.

[@Jazharamai]

Oops... I meant Colorscape (not Boutique). Sorry, my bad. 😬

Hi, I'm a beginner it would be so helpful if I knew the oz. of the ball of wool and NO.10 needle is that American size or mm. It couldn't find it in your pattern either.

[@Wildberry0610]

Needles are US size 10 (6mm)

[@TH-dj3zo]

Hi could you show us how to use life lines?

[@Jazharamai]

Approximately how many yards of yarn did you use to knit this? I can’t find the Boutique yarn in any of my big box or local knitting supplies stores here. 😟 I’d love to make this beautiful cowl! 😉 Thank you, Marly! 😊

[@MarlyBird]

If it’s too small, use a larger needle, if it’s too large, use a smaller needle.

The holes should be where the yarn overs are.

@@MarlyBird There are 23 pages on your website regarding this pattern, etc. There is no place to click to print or download printable version (like there is for your patterns on Yarnspirations). Wish you would go to your website and maybe understand what I'm trying to explain. Yes, I can "cut and paste" the pattern since there are 23 pages if you just print all.
