The Kilim Scarf is inspired by the intricate geometric designs of Persian rugs, bringing their timeless beauty into a fun and engaging knit. The mosaic pattern creates a rich, woven-like effect that mimics the depth of a hand-knotted rug while remaining simple to work. With each section, the design unfolds in a satisfying and motivating way, and the rhythmic stitch repeats keep you hooked without feeling overwhelming. It’s the perfect balance of structure and creativity, making every row a joy to knit!

Kilim scarf is rectangular shape, knitted sideways on a bias. Only one color is worked at the time. The pattern can be worked from the written instructions or the charts.

You can adjust the scarf’s size and look by casting on more or fewer stitches, working more or fewer repeats in each section, and using a different number of colors. You can also work the pattern in a thicker yarn using the appropriate needle size.
