I’m beyond thrilled to introduce you to my latest design, the Sidelines Scarf, created exclusively for the Pigskin Party Make-a-Long 2024! 🎉 This pattern has been thoughtfully designed to be fun, quick, and endlessly customizable, making it the perfect project for Pigskin Party participants who want to score big points while creating something truly unique.

The Inspiration Behind the Sidelines Scarf


When designing the Sidelines Scarf, I wanted to offer knitters a versatile, small accessory that could be as simple or as creative as they like. It’s knit with fingering-weight yarn, but can easily be adjusted for any weight and gauge, giving you the freedom to play around with your stash or use up scrap yarns. Featuring an applied i-cord edge, a subtle slip-stitch detail, and a half-chevron stripe that runs the length of the scarf, this piece has texture and style in spades.


The Sidelines Scarf is also the perfect quick-knit accessory. You can tie it around your neck for a chic accent, add it to a ponytail for a fun pop of color, or even attach it to the handle of a bag or basket. The sample scarf shows color-blocked stripes, but you can customize this however you like—omit the stripes, change up the colors, or go wild with your creativity!
