Agate Knit Scarf Tutorial | Super Bulky 2 Row Repeat You Can Finish Fast

Hey everyone! Today we are making the Knit Agate Scarf. It is a super simple two row repeat, like really one row because one row is just purl, but two row repeat made in super bulky yarn to make a super bulky comfy scarf. You can get the pattern in the description and we'll get started.

I'm going to give you the multiple that makes the actual stitch repeat so that if you want to make this in worsted, lace, whatever, it makes a really cool chevron with these raised kind of ribbing throughout. So it's a super simple pattern. I'm going to show you how to do the repeat in just a second. We used an eight millimeter Needle for this. So if you adjust your yarn be sure to adjust your needle size So let's go do the pattern repeat now. Okay, I've got my cast on stitches I'm doing less than what the pattern calls for so I wanted to show you that you can adjust The width of the scarf by doing multiples of 12 and then adding two which will be our end stitches to whatever you want so that if you want to make this in a lighter yarn you can increase the width by doing multiples of 12 and adding two or you can make it skinnier if you're still using the super bulky by reducing. is 24 plus two so um 26 total stitches so it will be two repeats and then those end stitches so the end stitches will be a knit one so we're just going to knit one for the very first stitch then our repeat comes in we're going to knit our kfb which is knit in the front and back loop of one stitch so we're increasing so to do that we knit knit. the front of the loop leave the stitch on the hook i mean the needle sorry then we're going to come behind and go in the back of the loop and do another knit stitch so now we have two off of that one so we increased pull that off then we're going to knit three so just normal knitting three okay our next stitch we're going to decrease and remove that stitch we gained over over here by knitting two together so we're gonna come left to right through the next two stitches and so usually like when you have your cast on if you make it a little too tight it's a little difficult to get through those stitches so make your cast on not too tight so you can get through that easily you'll see i split the yarn a little bit there so i'm going to stop and try that again so kind of like you can pull on your stitches if you're feeling a little tight and it'll kind of pull from the stitches around you so that you can get a little bit easier to get into those stitches let's see i can get through a lot easier this time So knit two together. No split yarn that time. Yay. Then we're going to do one more decrease because we're going to add another stitch over here. So this time we're going to knit two together through the back loop. This one's a lot easier because you're just going in through the front of both of those stitches but in the back. So we're going right to left this time in the back and just knit that. And I feel like I've split something somewhere so let me try that one more time Usually your cast on row is your hardest. So just take time. Like I can feel, there we go. I felt like something was stuck there, but that, that kind of made it come clean. Then we're going to knit three, knit one, knit two, knit three. I hope by showing like these mistakes or these problems will help you to understand that you're not alone. But we all have difficulties. I'm not going to show you just the easy stuff. I'll show you what is difficult and how to kind of help with it. Then we're going to do a KFB again. So we're going to knit in the front, bring it around, and then knit in the back again. So that's the end of that first repeat. And those increases and decreases are what give you your chevron. So increases will make peaks, decreases will make valleys. So one more time, we're gonna KFB again. So we're doing increases back to back when we're doing the repeat. So KFB, knit in the front. KFB, knit in the back, created that extra stitch. Then we're gonna knit three, two, three. Then we're going to knit two together. Again, you can kind of pull on those a little bit to get some slack from the neighboring stitches so you can get through them easier. This yarn has a tendency to split pretty easy so I have to be very careful when I'm doing it. Other yarn is not as bad so it really depends on what you're using. Then we're going to knit two together through the back loop. So again we're coming from right to left in the back which is a lot easier than I'm going to knit two together. Getting that knitted off and it just gives like kind of a different stitch look when it's all done. So you could do totally different kind of stitches to create those peaks and valleys but those just give it a little bit of an offset. Then we're going to knit three again. This is a pretty easy repeat to remember especially when you're using the super bulky yarn and you don't have a lot of stitches in each row so you can get that memorized pretty quick so you can Netflix and knit. Then this last stitch we're going to kfb again. Knit the front, knit in the back, and then one stitch left and just a knit stitch. That is our pretty much only row that we need to memorize because the second row is the second of the only two rows that we are repeating this entire time and that row is nothing but purling. So you are going to get lots of purl practice. Because all you do on row two and every even row is purl. So it's a nice, quick, easy stitch repeat to memorize. Doesn't take too much work. Now you know how to make it wider or skinnier. Let's go do some final thoughts. So that was it. Super simple two row repeat to make this scarf. I would love to see what you guys are making.
