Confetti Scarf
Knitters are not, by nature, satisfied with standing by and simply admiring yarn. We want to commune with yarn, to imprint upon yarn, to celebrate yarn. If we could, we’d eat yarn! These feelings are what compelled me to pull together seven strands of Purl Soho’s Line Weight into one brand new bulky weight merino. It may not be edible, but it does fulfill that desire to throw a yarn party!
Our big and toasty Confetti Scarf is easy enough for beginners and quick enough for a beautiful last-minute gift. Indulge yourself in the true fun of knitting! -Whitney

Materials
- 7 skeins of Purl Soho’s Line Weight, 100% merino wool yarn, in 4 colors (see below). Each skein of this fingering-weight yarn is 494 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 3450 yards required.

Here are eight colorway ideas, including the one knit up here!
LEMONADE: 1 skein of Line Weight in Ochre Yellow, Yellow Yellow and Super Pink + 4 skeins of Heirloom White
LAMPLIGHT: 1 skein of Line Weight in Gray Fig, Sea Salt and Yellow Yellow + 4 skeins of Heirloom White

Gauge
11 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette stitch, holding one of each yarn together
Size
Finished Dimensions: 16 inches x 74 inches
Pattern Notes
For this pattern you will pull one strand from each of the seven skeins of yarn. This means, of course, that you will be knitting with seven strands of yarn at once, which may sound harder than it is! You don’t need to worry about organizing the yarns; it’s okay if they twist and cross. You just need to make sure that you wrap all 7 strands around the needle and that the needle picks up all 7 strands when you pull a stitch through, but since the strands tend to cling to each other, that’s easy!
Another note… Since this scarf is in stockinette stitch, it will inevitably curl into a tube. It’s quite a wide scarf, so it won’t be a tight tube, but you can definitely expect some curling. We think that’s part of the beauty!
Pattern
Cast on 44 stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.
Row 1: Purl.
Row 2: Knit.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you nearly run out of yarn, ending with Row 1. (Since skein lengths vary slightly, one color will probably run out a little before the others, so keep an eye out!)
Bind off loosely in knit stitch.
Weave in the ends and you’re done!

Oh my goodness girls, another fabulous idea! And I just happen to have these exact colours from an abandoned project! Love your work.
Wow , what a great idea! All theses possibilities to put together the favourite colours. Thanks a lot.
Very, very, very nice !
I was wondering, does this end up being a chunky warm scarf for the winter. I just saw this, and am absolutely in love with this scarf! I will definitely be knitting this up ASAP!
Hi Jenn!
This would be a great chunky scarf for the winter! We’re so glad you like it!
Happy Knitting.
Thomas
LOVE the color ways!
I want to translate this to a crochet project, and wondered what the comparable hook size would be…..?
Hi Andrea!
Since crochet hooks vary by size letter when you get that big, just make sure you get a 10mm crochet hook, or possibly just a little larger.
Happy Crocheting!
Thomas
I’m going to give this a try it looks fun!
You have done it again! I love it!!
Is there any least expensive yarn you could use for this pattern? One hundred thirty eight dollars for a scarf is a little expensive!
Hi Rhonda!
This a very generously sized scarf, so if you’d like to reduce the cost but not the quality or sumptuousness, one alternative is to reduce the size! Buy two skeins of the Heirloom White (instead of four) and two contrast colors (instead of three) and make your scarf 8 inches wide (instead of 16). Be sure to divide the Heirloom White skeins in half (or to pull from the inside and outside of the balls) so that you’re knitting with 6 total strands (instead of 7). You’ll still end up with a super soft and cozy scarf that is still about 70 inches long, but at a price some people may find more affordable!
Happy Knitting!
HI! How many stitches would you cast on to make this size? Still the 44 or would it be 22? Thanks for sharing another amazing project!! Love this!!
Hi Gloria-
For the thinner version of the scarf you should cast on 22 stitches. To make a scarf like the one in the photo just follow the original pattern by casting on 44 stitches!
Please let us know if you need any more help!

I’m thinking of making this smaller version but I love the colors of lemonade above. Do you think 3 strands of heirloom white plus 3 of the contrasting colors would work (6 total strands)? It seems like you suggested 2 skeins of heirloom white to minimize left over yarn for the heirloom white or would the color balance look better with 4 strands of heirloom white? Thank you!!
Hi Julie,
Thanks for writing in! I think it’s a great idea to use six strands. Also, it won’t really make a difference if you decide to use one less skein of heirloom white. You might find that with one less heirloom white the contrast colors will show more, but I think this is a good thing. Anyway, that being said, I think you should go for it!
Best,
Adam
Thanks for the quick reply! Looks like you don’t carry the ochre yellow anymore. What would be a comparable substitute?
Hi Julie,
I think the “yellow zest” or “pink grapefruit” would be wonderful substitutions depending on if you want to make the scarf more pink or more yellow. Best of luck on this project!
-Adam
Hey! So this is gorgeous and amazing and I would LOVE to make it but I don’t really understand fully…do you knit with all 7 strands at once??
Hi Nichole-
Yes! You hold all 7 strands together as if they were one big strand!
Thanks for getting in touch and if you have any more questions please let us know!

This looks lovely (and just the thing to spend my vacation time on). I’m curious how it would be with black as the base color. Black background with a combination of bright green (Extra Green or Cardamom Green) and bright blue (Dragonfly Blue or Green Turqoiuse). And maybe a skein of Gray Fig (a little purple never hurt). Would it work with a dark background?
Hi Laura!
I think that would be a really great idea! I’d pick really bright colors to go with it.
Happy Knitting!
would be great to see a square sample with the black backround love it
Laura, you are thinking of exactly the same colors I am! I think it would be gorgeous with black for the base color and those blue-greens! I’m actually about to check my yarn stash to see if I have enough of the Dragon Blue before I order!
This scarf looks like the perfect, quick knit for those of us with kids getting accepted to college, who want to knit up a little something celebratory for the co-ed in their new college colors. (Yes…a dorm room blanket further on the horizon…..)
For a boy….with college colors cardinal red, black and white….what combo of Line Weight yarn? Is this scarf unisex enough or is there another scarf / yarn you’d recommend? Or does Whitney have, deep in her pattern libraby, the perfect college co-ed scarf that can be knit with new Purl yarns?
Happy Holidays to all of you and thank you!!
Hi there!
I think this is a great patten to knit for a college bound boy or girl! I would make the main color the Heirloom White, and then get some Soft Black and Red Zinnia for the other two colors!
Happy Knitting!
Thomas
Hi,
I was thinking that casting on with all 7 strands may be tricky (for me). Could I use a provisional cast on — or would binding of the seven strand loops be trickier than casting them on? I’ve only used a provisional cast on when sewing ends together — is there a bind off technique that I would use? Or, more simply, would the ends be awful is I cast on to a larger needle?
Thanks!
Hi Robin!
You might want to try a Cable cast on if you think the long tail cast on will be difficult with so many strands. I personally find a provisional cast on more physically difficult than most regular cast-ons. If a provisional cast on is easier for you, I say go for it, and then you’ll pick up those stitches after you are done and bind them off loosely as well.
Happy Knitting!
Thomas
Any tips for preventing a complete mess? Should I wind each skein into it’s own ball to start with? How do I keep the project in some kind of order in between knitting sessions?
This sounds like a fun challenge but I’d hate to spend that money on such gorgeous yarn and end up with an impossible tangle.
Hi Jess!
The important thing is that since all of the strands are being combined into one knitting strand, it doesn’t matter if they twist around each other or cross. I would just put all of the yarn balls in a project bag, and go for it! It is probably easiest if you have a separate ball for each strand, but would probably work just fine for pulling from both ends of a couple of the white strands.
Thomas
i love this scarf – the size and look and weight of it. I would love to try in one color too. could i knit with one bulky weight yarn on sz 15 needles? thanks! just finished the purl soho pullover. i love purl bee 🙂
Hi Ann S-
Sure, if you get the same gauge (or somewhere thereabouts) you should be fine! Thanks for getting in touch!
Best-
Molly
Would it be possible to achieve this look with a bulkier yarn?
Hi Rebecca-
The look of this scarf is achieved by all the different strands coming together to create the fun confetti effect. But if you’d like to use a larger yarn you could certainly give it a try, the pattern will still work as long as you get the same gauge. You may want to experiment with using one larger yarn and one smaller so you still get a bit of the marled effect. If cost is a concern you may want to check out our reply to Rhonda above in the comments for a less expensive (but still gorgeous!) version.
Thanks so much for getting in touch and please let us know if you have any more questions!

This scarf looks so gorgeous. I do have a question- will the scarf curl on each long length side? I recently knitted a scarf with knit stitch as above and was sad to see the scarf curl at the sides. I am not sure how to straighten it. I would love to try this one with the 7 yarns too but reluctant if it will curl too. thanks, Karen
Hi Karen-
Yes, this scarf is knit in stockinette stitch which will always curl no matter how much you block it or try to straighten it. Because of that we have made this scarf very wide so that the edges curl but it doesn’t roll up into a tube! Garter Stitch (where you knit every row) and Ribbing do not curl so if it really bothers you you could use one of those stitches to make a scarf with this same combination of yarns.
Please let us know if you have any more questions!
Best-
Molly
I love this pattern. I wanted to knit some once around the neck cowls for myself and my daughters. Would this yield one adult cowl and possibly two smaller toddler cowls? Would you suggest sticking with with stockinette or would you change to switching to garter or rib knit to prevent too much rolling in a cowl? Thanks again!!
Hi Adrienne!
I can’t say for certain if you would have enough yarn to knit all three, especially if you do switch to garter stitch. As far as stitch pattern, it is up to you! Maybe experiment to see which you like the best. Part of the beauty of this original scarf is the simplicity of the stockinette stitch and the fact that we have allowed it to curl.
Happy Knitting!
Thomas
Thanks, Thomas! (I resubmitted my question, so please delete!) I think I’ll just go for it in stockinette and see how far I get. Thanks again!
Hi, When requested and for a fee, will you wind the yarn? Thanks, Margie
Hi Marjorie!
Both in our shop, and online, we are more than happy to wind yarn, and no fee necessary! If you are ordering online, just be sure to include a note that you would like the yarn wound.
Happy Knitting!
Thomas
I may not be in the correct place to ask this question but I’ll start here. I have just finished knitting 7 of the easy merino kids blankets for presents and I have started this confetti scarf and the one off ribbed version with people waiting on more. I did not know you would wind the skeins when ordering yarn and have old hands which tend to have tendinitis. All this by way of asking if I returned my stash of Soho yarn could I get it wound after the fact. Should I take this up in a different place or speak to California on the phone. It would be wonderful if I could? I LOVE everything I get from Purl.
Hi Beverly!
Having a center-pull wound ball certainly helps on this pattern! I do not know where you are located, but we are always happy to wind for our customers! If you come to the store in NYC we are more than happy to wind for you! If you need to mail the yarn, you can certainly check with us at [email protected] to see how to go about doing that!
Thanks for your question!
-Thomas
Pretty but at $138.00 it is a rather pricey scarf. No wonder the pattern is free!
Hi Elizabeth-
You may want to check out our reply to Rhonda above in the comments for a less expensive (but still gorgeous!) version.
Thanks for getting in touch!
Molly
I’m about to purchase the yarn for this scarf. I’m knitting it for my granddaughter so I’m trying to decide on the size. I’m confused about your comment to Rhonda. How do you come up with 6 skeins? If you use two skeins of Heirloom White and two skeins of contrasting colors, isn’t that four?
Hi Marjorie-
It’s not 6 skeins, it’s 6 strands. You will be dividing the two skeins of heirloom white into two separate balls and pulling one strand from each (4 strands total) and then using two contrasting colors on their own for a grand total of 6 strands! I hope this makes sense!
Please let us know if you need any more help and thanks so much for getting in touch!

I have a question;
Is there not a link to PDFs for your patterns? I can’t seem to find one and hate the copy & pasting I have to do! Enjoy the knitting them though!
Hi Linney-
PDFs are available for all of our patterns by using our new print feature:
If you’re on a desktop version of the site, you will find a “print” icon in the right column just below the date and tags. If you’re on a mobile version of the site, you will find a “print” icon below the pattern, after the comment box.
If the images aren’t showing up in the print screen, close out of the print screen, scroll to the bottom of the post so that all the images populate and then click the print button once again. At this point all of the images should be there!
Follow the easy on-screen instructions for customizing what parts of the pattern you want to delete for printing (for example, certain images or the list of materials). You also have an option to save it as a PDF here.
Thank you very much for getting in touch about this!

Beautyful !
what is the length of the scarf? it says to knit until you’re almost out of yarn, but i’m using a different yarn.
Hi Sharon-
The finished dimensions of this scarf are 16 inches x 74 inches. This info can be found under the “Size” headline within the pattern.
Thanks for your question and happy knitting!
Molly
This is a beautiful scarf, but it ends up being quite heavy. At 100 g per skein, that’s 700 g, or a pound and a half, of yarn around your neck. I decided to make mine about 2 feet shorter, which helped. I’ll use the remaining yarn to make a thin striped scarf for spring, I think!
This pattern is very easy, great for begineers, the colors combinations is what make pattern lovely.

Love this! Two questions – I wanted to do one scarf with navy blue as the base color and then add in a grey and a bright blue — like a cobalt or royal. I don’t see that blue in Line Weight? Is there a similar yarn you can suggest? Also, want to do a separate scarf with the white base and add bright pink and orange, but then add a metallic, likely gold? Can you recommend anything from Purl Soho? Thanks!
Hello Sharon!
What fun color ideas! We don’t carry any yarn that are a true metallic, but you can certainly try using this embroidery floss: https://www.purlsoho.com/metallic-embroidery-floss.html As for the cobalt or royal color, take a look at our options for Koigu Painter’s Palette yarns and see if any colors are to your liking! Keep in mind that you would need 3 of these to be equivalent to the yardage of one skein of Purl Soho’s Line Weight. Check out the Koigu here: https://www.purlsoho.com/koigu-painter-s-palette-premium-merino-kpppm-and-premium-merino-kpm.html
Hope this helps! Happy Holidays! -Alyson
If I want to make this beauty in worsted weight yarn, what size needles would I use? I want it drappy and soft looking. Thanks Jodi I fo have a puctue of what I have in mind but font know how to get it to you!
Hi Jodi,
Thanks for writing in! I think that you would only need three to four strands of worsted yarn to knit this scarf on a US 15. If you wanted to use seven strands of yarn like the pattern, you’d probably need to knit this on a US 36. This would be a great stash buster project!
Thanks,
Adam
Hi, Are you expecting more stock of the colors to make this with the pink and yellow? If not, do you have similar colors in another yarn that you would recommend? Tks
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for writing in! Unfortunately we have discontinued a lot of Line Weight colors, but you should certainly look at Anzula Squishy for colors you might want to substitute. Best of luck and happy knitting!
-Adam
I would like to make a version of this scarf using more “muted” colors–maybe including either Ballet Pink or Lavender Opal. Can you suggest some other colors (line weight or another yarn you carry) that I could pair with one of these colors for a more muted look? Thank you!
Hi Susan,
Thanks for writing in and great question! I love the idea of a more subtle palette. I would suggest the 4 skeins of Heirloom White plus 1 Lavender Opal, 1 Fieldstone Gray and 1 Oyster Gray OR 4 Heirloom White plus 1 Ballet Pink, 1 Rose Granite and 1 Peony Pink.
I hope that this helps and happy knitting!
Cassy
Hi! I have wanted to make this scarf for a long time and now that I am ready to, all but one of the suggested palettes has discontinued colors. I have seen the recommendations for new muted color palettes in the comments above, but I would like the opposite because I usually use and am drawn to muted colors. Most recently I have purchased the colorways lavender opal, oyster and storm gray and gray fig for different projects but I would like to try something different and brighter. I consider you folks at Purl to be color geniuses, so I would love your opinion! Thank you!
Hi Blair,
Thank you for writing in! I think that a combination of Yellow Yellow, Pink Grapefruit and Super Pink would be great! Kiln Red, Ginger Orange and Honey Pink would be another great option! Or you could replace the Honey Pink with Turmeric Yellow in Linen Quill!
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
Cassy, are you saying use those palettes plus 4 heirloom white?
Hi Sharon,
Thanks for writing back! That is correct!
Best,
Cassy
I have 5 skeins of your linen quill and 1 skein of your line weight and was wondering if you thought I could use these for this scarf — if so would I use the same size needles as recommended in the pattern? Thank you!
Hi Naomi,
Thanks for writing in! You certainly could use 5 skeins of Linen Quill and 1 skein of Line Weight here. This will mean that you are 1 stand thinner than we used here. I would suggest trying the pattern on US 13 instead of US 15. So long as you like the fabric using either US 13 or US 15, you should be set to go.
The other thing to note is that the yardage on Linen Quill is a bit less than Line Weight. To get an equal length scarf, you may want to cast on a few fewer stitches, perhaps 40 stitches.
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
One more question: I have been trying to research what to do if I want the stockinette pattern of this scarf to lie flatter at the edges/have a bit of a border on the edge — would you recommend 2 or 4 (or more?) stitches of seed stitch at the edge? Or something else? Thank you!
Hi Naomi,
Thanks for writing in! I think that you would need at least 4 stitches of seed to get a proper border. Alternately, you could do a 2 stitch garter edge or a 3 stitch ribbed selvedge as we used on our Elementary Wrap!
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
Thank you for the assortment of helpful suggestions!
Thank you so much for your help, your beautiful patterns — and your beautiful wool!
I’m thinking of making this in the anzula squishy yarn but noticed each skein is 385 yds while the line weight is 494 yards. Do you know if the scarf uses all of the line weight yarn, or will I have enough yarn if I use the squishy to make the same size scarf in the confetti pattern? Also should i use the same size needle — size 15?
thanks
Hi Victoria,
The pattern does have you knit until you have just enough yarn left to cast off so we did use all of the yardage in Line Weight. You will end up with a shorter scarf if you only use one skein of each color of Squishy; however, Squishy is slightly thicker than Line Weight and the scarf is a very generous width, so I think you could easily subtract 8 to 10 stitches from the cast on to make the scarf longer. The weight difference between Squishy and Line Weight is very minor so I think the size 15 needle will still work, but you could always try a small swatch to decide what needle size you prefer!
I hope that helps!
Julianna
If I wanted to make this scarf in the same size and yarn weight carrying two skeins of yarn instead of seven, how do I figure how many to cast on and the needle size to use? Thank you.
Hi Victoria,
Thanks for writing in! If you would like to use just two strands of Line Weight for this scarf, I would suggest starting out with a US 5 needle. If you find the fabric too loose, you may want to go down to a US 4 and if it is too tight, you may want to up to a US 6.
To determine your cast on, I would suggest knitting a gauge swatch to determine how many stitches you are getting per inch. Once you know how many stitches you are getting per inch, you will multiply that by between 16 inches and use that number as your cast on number!
Best,
Cassy
Hi – A while back I bought line weight yarn in a few colors to make this scarf, but then the yarn got all tangled and I had to cut it off at the knot. I’m thinking now I’d use what’s left to make a baby blanket, but don’t want to have the rolled edges. Any suggestions for a different knit stitch or edge? And a simple pattern or instructions as to how much to cast on, etc.? Thanks!
Hi Sharon,
Thanks for writing in! If you have a kitchen scale, I would love to know how many grams you have left of the original 7 skeins of Line Weight. Even without this information, I think our Gradient Cowl would make a wonderful seed stitch baby blanket that won’t curl. All you have to do is cast on around 150 stitches instead of 60, and the pattern will guide you through making fun stripes in different color combinations by holding the Line Weight double. The great part is there’s a lot of room to make this pattern unique by playing with the width of your stripes, and you can knit and knit until all the yarn is gone!
I hope this helps!
Gaby
Thank you Gaby! Almost the same colors that I have too. Unfortunately don’t have a kitchen scale, but looks like I still have a fair amount. What would the dimensions of the blanket be if I followed this pattern? And needle size – still size 7 circular 24″?
Hi Sharon,
Thank you for your reply! A 150 stitch cast on should produce an approximately 30″ wide blanket according to the Gradient Cowl gauge. If you have at least 5 skeins worth of Line Weight, that should be enough yardage for a 30″ x 30″ blanket- perfect size for baby! Because of the size of the blanket, you’ll probably be more comfortable on a roomier 32″ size 7 circular needle.
Happy knitting!
Gaby
Hi. Love this scarf. I’m a beginner, so it’s a) expensive to try my hand; and b) I’m not confident to mingle yarns being a novice (I have read the comment about the smaller width in the expense point but it’s the combining if yarns I’m nog keen about). Is there a ‘made up’ confetti wool that you think may be used instead? Thank you.
Hi Andrea,
Thanks for writing in! It’s surprisingly easy to knit with multiple strands of yarn held together, but it can be tricky to keep all those strands of yarn untangled. I’m happy to provide some alternatives! Manos del Uruguay Franca is thick enough that you only need to use a single strand for this pattern, but the hand dyed speckles should provide a similar marled appearance to the original. You will need 5 skeins of Franca for a similar sized scarf. Another option would be to try using just two strands held together of Madeline Tosh Merino or Manos del Uruguay Serpentina. This would give you an even more marled appearance, especially if you choose two different colors, and give you a tamer taste of knitting with multiple strands of yarn! You would need 6 skeins of Tosh Merino or 8 skeins of Serpentina, equally divided between your two chosen colors.
I hope that helps!
Julianna
hi! – i absolutely adore this scarf and would like to try a different yarn combination. the 4 balls of line weight will remain the same. for the contrast colors i like to use tussock because. do you think it is possible regarding the handling and the shorter length of tussock? how can the pattern be adjusted?
one last question: do you have any feedback from customers on how long the shipping will take to the eu?
thanks a lot!
Hi Kathy,
Thanks for writing in! This scarf is so fun and I think Tussock would be beautiful as the contrasting colors! Since Tussock has less yardage per skein than Line Weight, you could cast on less stitches and make the scarf a little more narrow to insure you have enough Tussock or you can knit as is and make it a little shorter. If you don’t want a more narrow or shorter scarf I would buy an extra skein of Tussock in each contrasting color. If you don’t end up using the extra skeins and leave them unwound you can return them for store credit within 6 months!
As for shipping, our ECONOMY-RATE INTERNATIONAL packages usually arrive within 3-4 weeks but could be longer due to the current circumstances.
I hope this helps, happy knitting!

If I used my five gradient cowl linen quill skeins to make this scarf, do you have an estimate of what size needle – and will I have enough yarn? I’ll gauge it, but thought it would be smart to check in with you first. Many thanks!
Hi Jen,
Thanks for reaching out! If you are using 5 strands of Linen Quill rather than 7 strands of Line Weight I would suggest trying out a gauge swatch with a US 13 needle!
Unfortunately, since this is an older pattern we don’t have the exact yardage used so it is hard to say if you will have enough from your leftovers, I would suggest weighing out your leftover yarn to determine how many yards you have left!
I hope this helps, happy knitting!
Gianna
This looks beautiful and I’m inspired to attempt it as my first ‘real’ project. However, I just cannot get my head around pulling yarn from 7 skeins to make one thread. I see many mentions that this is a beginner friendly project, and as a beginner, I would LOVE a visual tutorial (video!) starting with the cast on, managing the 7 skeins, and the cast off. Have you considered making a demo video on how to do this? Would be so very helpful and probably a great marketing tool for you as well. Thank you for the inspiration and sharing your expertise!
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for writing in! I’m afraid that we do not have the time and resources to create a video tutorial for this pattern. We’re so sorry about that! But if you run into any trouble as you get started, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, either here or by sending an email to [email protected]. We’re always happy to answer any specific questions you have!
All the best,
