Chunky Knit Scarf Patterns for Instant Knit-ification

Although the scarf is famous as a project for beginners, it can still make even the most experienced knitter swoon. That’s definitely the case with these chunky knit scarf patterns!

Chunky knit scarves make us want to reach out and touch the squishy, pretty textures. Chunky yarn lends itself to all kinds of stitches, from basic knit-and-purl combinations to twisty cables. 

Chunky Knit Scarf Patterns

Wrap up in a cozy chunky knit scarf pattern that’s both warm and stylish.

Here’s a tip for those of you trying to use up your stash: If you don’t have a chunky or super bulky-weight yarn for these chunky knit scarf patterns, try holding two strands of worsted-weight yarn together for a similar gauge.

4. Procragratification Infinity Scarf

The name for this pattern is short for “procrastination-instant gratification scarf,” since the designer cast it on while procrastinating other projects and then finished it quickly. You can do the same, thanks to a super-bulky yarn and a design that doesn’t require complicating stitch counting.

5. Chunky Basket Weave Infinity Scarf

This scarf results in a chunky texture, but it doesn’t actually use a heavy yarn. Instead, it uses two strands of worsted-weight yarn held together to create a bulkier look. If you have a super-bulky yarn in your stash, though, go ahead and use it held as a single strand and you’ll get a similar result.

If you really want to show off a chunky yarn, cables are a great option. Cables really emphasize the bulk of the yarn, and they also make the scarf extra cozy. This scarf is also reversible, so you don’t have to worry about the wrong side facing out.
