Today’s freebie is the Check It Scarf! This pattern is free in this post or purchase the ad-free printable download here. This pattern is a kit with Lion Brand. This blog is a free preview of the complete pattern. Explore new-to-you stitches and practice the required techniques.
The Check It Scarf is worked entirely in Stockinette Stitch, using intarsia colorwork technique. Intarsia could be considered an intermediate technique, but is quite simple. Once and/or if you’re comfortable working with multiple colors and changing colors, this simple checkered print is easy to work up. You will begin with a Long Tail Cast-on, followed by Stockinette Stitch for the remainder of the pattern. Each color-block consists of the same number of rows and stitches, making for simple mindless stitching.

Whether you're dashing to work or meeting friends for hot cocoa, this scarf will become your new go-to fall and winter essential.
