Calling all sports fans: knitshop.co.uk has designed a scarf just for you. Just knit it in your team’s colours (or put in a request from your favourite knitter for a Football Scarf and be sure to remind them which team is yours).
Even if you don’t follow a particular team, it’s impossible not to appreciate the two-tone design of the Football Scarf pattern – its hexagons look just like those on a match ball.
Knitted from knitshop.co.uk’s Thick and Easy Wool Yarn and Natural Wool Tweed Yarn the incredibly cosy Football World Cup Scarf is made from pure wool and knits up on 7mm needles. There’s a choice of 23 colours, so you’re bound to find one in your team colours. You’ll need 100g. For the white sections of the scarf, you’ll need 200g of Natural Wool yarn or white Alpaca Quito Yarn.
The Football World Cup Scarf uses stocking stitch throughout, so you simply need to know how to knit and purl. The clearly written instructions indicate exactly where you need to change from the main colour to the shade you’ve chosen for the ball. And since this is a scarf, you don’t need to worry about tension. The scarf should end up around 190cm long – plenty for wrapping round your neck and tucking into your jacket. If it ends up a little longer or a little shorter, it won’t really matter.
Wrap the Football Scarf around your neck as you sit on the terraces waiting for your team to score and you’ll barely notice the icy winds. When the ball hits the back of the net, no one will be in any doubt which team you support.
Armchair football fans, this pattern’s for you, too. You can be knitting away while Hanson and Motty provide their half-time match analysis or while the mid-fielders are wasting time passing the ball to each other. If you’re a fast knitter, this extra-chunky scarf might even be knitted by the end of extra time!
Look out for some delicious new colours of Wool Tweed Yarn being listed at the knitshop.co.uk from 10 April!
