Free pattern: The Deco Slotted Scarf
Recently I was on the search for a the perfect ‘vintage’ style scarf pattern.
- Something with those classic (and visually appealling) pointed ends.
- A pattern with a slot or keyhole to keep the scarf snug against my neck, that also wasn’t the traditional Miss Marple Scarf.
- Something that was quick to knit, but not boring
- And finally something a bit luxe, I wanted something slighty fluffy or furry like all those 1930s angora scarf patterns I kept coming across.
In the end I realised my perfect vintage style pattern didn’t exist, and so the Deco Slotted Scarf came into being!
The pattern is very simply to knit – and fast too. Perfect for when you need a scarf NOW, but don’t really want to think too hard while you’re knitting it.
The shaped and pointed ends were inspired by 1930s designs but I think it would look great with modern outfits too.
I wanted a luxe and slighly fluffy effect for the scarf, similar to the vintage ones that caught my eye – so I’d recommend holding a strand of lace weight mohair, angora or cashmere with your aran yarn to get the same effect. For a more ‘everyday’ day just use your favourite aran yarn on it’s own.
It doesn’t take a lot of yarn either – my scarf here took 1.5 balls of Morris and Sons Estate 10ply (Macadamia) and under one ball of Rowan Kidsilk Haze in white. So about approx 130m (140 yard).
Below are some inspiration images I wanted share, to give you a flavour of 1930s scarf fashion ❤️
I hope you enjoy this pattern!
