Chickadee

If you have a passion for knitting and a love for birds, you’ll really appreciate this delightful Chickadee Scarf knitting pattern! While I may not claim to be the best birder, I certainly recognize and adore the sweet call of a chickadee when I hear it. This unique scarf is designed as a cozy tube, expertly knit in the round, featuring an attractive ribbed border at both the beginning and end, making it an elegant accessory for any season.

Finished Dimensions: This beautiful scarf measures a generous 10” (25.5 cm) in width and 62” (157.5 cm) in length, offering plenty of warmth and comfort for chilly days.

Materials Needed: For this project, you will need Malabrigo Arroyo, a luxurious 100% superwash Merino yarn that is soft, durable, and perfect for delicate designs. The yarn comes in 335 yards (306 meters) per skein and weighs 3.5 oz (100 grams). You'll require 2 skeins each of Natural (Main Color - MC) and Sunset (C3), along with 1 skein each of Petrichor (C1) and Choco (C2). Feel free to substitute your favorite color palette; just ensure to have 2 skeins of the colors for the flower pattern section, and 1 skein each for the leaf color and the chickadee accent.

Recommended Tools: To create your Chickadee Scarf, gather US3 (3.25 mm) 20” (50 cm) circular needles or an equivalent size that will help you achieve the desired gauge. Additionally, have some stitch markers and a tapestry needle on hand to assist you throughout the project.

Gauge Information: Achieving the perfect gauge is critical for a well-fitted scarf. This pattern requires a gauge of 29 stitches and 25.5 rounds over a 4” (10 cm) swatch in stranded stockinette, once blocked.
