Garter stitch is the perfect stitch for beginner knitters. If you are just learning how to successfully maneuver your needles and yarn, garter stitch will be your new best friend. The most basic stitch is garter stitch, which is knitting every stitch (or purling every stitch). Garter stitch projects are reversible, because the right and wrong side of your work will look identical. Since garter stitch is all knit with no need to think about switching stitches, even between rows, you can finish a pattern in a short amount of time. It’s easy to recognize garter stitch due to the horizontal ridges formed by the tops of the knitted loops on every other row.

Projects knit in garter stitch lie flat and have a pleasant rustic look. This is a great stitch for scarves, bags of all sizes, washcloths, and blankets. Today, we present you with these 13 easy scarf knitting patterns. Each pattern is a great way to learn garter stitch and an opportunity to apply your basic knit knowledge to create something truly beautiful.

BONUS! ***For even more wonderful knit scarf patterns, be sure to check out 42 Infinity Scarf Patterns to Knit Today. This collection features a variety of knit infinity scarf patterns for all skill levels, so there’s truly something special for everyone.***
