Phydeaux Twist Chunky Scarf {Knitting Pattern}

I just love this pattern from Phydeaux Designs.  You can click through the before mentioned link to take you directly to the pattern source.  It is a purchased pattern, but inexpensive instant download.  I stay very busy with my family life, decorating our home and blogging.  I need my knitting projects to be somewhat simple and quick. 
It would be very boring to just do the same old garter stitch pattern all of the time.  I want my efforts to be pretty and stylish….on the fast and easy!  I find that I keep going back to Phydeaux Designs! 
You will need:  Phydeaux Designs pattern, 129 yards of super bulky yarn ( I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick), size 19 US knitting needles and materials of your choice for blocking.
 
I purchased this item for blocking last year when I needed it for a cowl pattern.  I love it!  I purchased it from the Lion Brand website.  It has interchangeable blocks to adjust for project size.
 

It comes in this awesome storage bag with directions and upholstery pins. 

 

Please note that this is on the pool table cover!  Lol!!!  Not a tablecloth!  I just realized how cheesy it looks.
 
This pattern is great for the beginner knitter as long as you feel comfortable with your basic stitches of knits and purls.  This is the first time that I tried this pattern and loved the variation it provided. 
I love Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn.  I used it here in the colorway of Fisherman.  I needed 2 skeins, but did not use all of it.  I think I'll go purchase another skein to do a hat!

Do you know how it looks like it is curling into itself?  Some patterns do this.  It is OK.  You simply have to block it.  I know….I was scared of this at first, but it is super easy peasy!
 

My scarf ended up 108 inches.  You could really make it as long or as short as you like as long as you finish a complete pattern repeat.  I like the double wrap look with this one and having more options for a chunkier look with the extra length.  It is a simple 4 row pattern when combinations of knits and purls.  The variation was new to me, but there are very detailed instructions to explain how to do the combination.  I figured it out and quickly memorized the repeat so I didn't have to keep looking at the instructions.
 
Blocking:  There are many methods online for this.  You don't even have to have a kit like mine.  Some tell you to do it with an ironing board, on towels or directly onto the carpet.  I just bought the kit!  I simply wet the scarf in the sink with cold water slightly squeezing out the excess.  Then lay it wrong side up on the mat and pin it to the board as you go.  Since the scarf is slightly wet, you can stretch it out to the width and length that you like.  Let it dry completely.  I left mine on the floor for 2 days.  Remove pins and you are ready to enjoy.  Mine still curls a bit, but it's OK! 
 

I completed this scarf while in college football traffic and a couple of evenings while watching television.  I find that needles and yarn in my hands are the only way I can stay awake these days!!
 
 
 
Here is the completed scarf wrapped around my 13 year old daughter's neck once with the sides hanging long. 
 
 
 
 
 Here it is wrapped twice around the neck.  She began to treat this as a Vogue Knitting photo shoot!  LOL!!
 
 

Close up of the stitch detail….notice the twists!  Just a combo of knits and purls.
 
 

 

 
 
The “I've watched too much Project Runway” look with my mom!
 

I love it like this!  Luckily we can share accessories!  At 5'8″ she is way taller than me (and thinner!!).  Probably no hope of ever sharing clothes or shoes!  Won't embarrass her by sharing shoe size!
 

 
 
Now acting silly with that pucker face everyone is doing!
 
 
 
Yay!  It's over and I can do what I love best……still acting like a silly kid!  Don't expect many posts with my teen son…..he thinks this blog thing is way lame!
 
I hope you try this pattern!  Let me know if you do!  I'd love to see your pictures and colorway that you pick!
 
Thanks for stopping by!  I'd love for you to join my blog and follow along.  Options are in the right side bar.

    I love this scarf. It looks so thick and soft and comfy! I don’t knit but my daughter started this summer so maybe I can talk her into making one of these when she’s home on break. . . ? A mom can wish. I don’t think she knows what blocking is yet so that’ll be something we’ll figure out together. Super cute model!

      Thanks, Shannon! It is a fast, easy scarf and blocking is not hard either. Feel free to message me if your daughter has questions or needs additional help. 🙂

    Just following you. My Mom knits. I am taking knitting needles at Thanksgivning and going to take a lesson or two. I saw a Martha Stewart pattern to use. Wish me luck.

      Thanks, Lori!! So nice to meet you! That is great. 🙂 I taught myself to knit so you will do great with your mom teaching you. What a fun time you’ll have! I’d start with a simple garter stitch scarf…knit every row with a chunkier yarn and maybe size 15 needle, but your mom will be able to guide you along. Don’t expect perfect at first…embrace mistakes or you’ll be frustrated. I can’t wait to hear your progress.

    It’s beautiful Christy! I wish I could knit, but it’s a hobby I have left to my mother in law. I’m going to have to pass this post on to her and drop some hints about a Christmas gift! 🙂

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
