Our Rick Rack Scarf is far from a snooze. For beginner knitters, it’s a fun challenge, and for more experienced knitters, it keeps you engaged. It also happens to be totally beautiful!
When we first shared this pattern, we knit it up in Jade Sapphire’s 8-Ply Cashmere. Still a gorgeous option, but this time we used our own Worsted Twist, 100% merino wool. Still totally soft and beautiful, Worsted Twist makes a classic Rick Rack Scarf, and in the color Copper Penny, it also makes a rich and complex statement.
In response to popular demand, this pattern is now accompanied by our step-by-step Rick Rack Rib Video Tutorial. It illuminates the little tricks and techniques and makes our Rick Rack Scarf more accessible to more knitters. So, naptime’s over… Time to cast on for our very un-snoozy Rick Rack Scarf! -Whitney

I am a beginning knitter looking for a project
Thank you so much for making the video tutorial. I bought some of your worsted twist last weekend on my trip to NYC and now I know what to do with it :)))
I agree with Roxanne. I wish there was an icon to save as a pdf. Always so difficult to save your patterns.
Hi Kathy,
There is an option to save as a PDF. If you press the print icon, you will have options to save as a PDF on the top bar of the pop up window. Thanks!
