Sif Scarf Pattern

Autumn is finally here and I couldn't be more excited! Fall colors, pumpkins everywhere and most importantly, beautiful weather.

As temperatures start to cool down, I wanted to make my Fall yarn releases extra special and release a gorgeous new scarf pattern along with it.

The Sif Scarf features intricate details that are surprisingly simple to knit up. So, if you are a beginner, don't worry! This pattern is perfect for you and will teach you a few things that will come in handy for your knitting endeavors.

So, let's jump right in!

As always, this pattern comes to you written out and with a video tutorial to guide you through each step of the process. You can also purchase the print version in my shop here: Sif Scarf Pattern Printable.

This pattern is free, but if you love it and would like to buy me a coffee, you can Venmo me @Tabetha-Moe. Coffee inspires me to make more patterns!
