Purl Soho's free scarf patterns
Purl Soho's board of free scarf knitting patterns: dozens of scarves, wraps and bandanas, each linking to a full pattern.
What it is
A board from Purl Soho, the yarn shop, devoted entirely to scarves. On its Pinterest profile the shop says it offers more than 1,000 free knitting patterns on its website; this board gathers the scarves, wraps and bandanas. We counted 82 pins when we checked, with new ones added in September 2026.
Why we picked it
Fall is the natural time to cast on a scarf, and digging through endless pattern roundups gets old fast. Everything here shares one calm, consistent look: soft colors, clear photos, a good sense of how each piece looks worn and up close. Every pin links to the pattern page. In our scroll we saw the Cloudberry Bandana, the Close Cable Scarf, the fluffy Powder Puff Scarf, the Wavelength Wrap, and the Trellis, Ledger and Seville scarves.
The honest catch: Purl Soho is a shop, so the patterns call for its own yarns. But the patterns are free, and swapping in a yarn of similar weight is easy.
Where to start
- New to knitting? Start with a simple texture like the Ledger Scarf.
- Want to try cables? Open the Close Cable Scarf.
- The Cloudberry Bandana knits up faster than a full scarf and makes a good first project of the season.
- Check the yarn weight in each pattern before you start, and find a substitute if needed.
Who it's for
Knitters of any level, and people who've been meaning to learn. Anyone planning handmade gifts for winter. And those who simply enjoy looking at well-made knitwear.
