Knitting Pattern and Tutorial

Herringbone is such a beautiful, classic stitch that is often overlooked in knitting. It can be knit up quite fast on larger needles and makes a dense, fluffy fabric that looks absolutely gorgeous. Today, I'll show you how to make your own Herringbone Knit Scarf!

This pattern is easily adjustable to be made using any yarn and needles, you may just need to do a bit of experimenting to get your gauge and size to work how you want.  I think the best scarves are around 70" long and have a thickness between 6-10" with the larger width creating more of a statement scarf.
