My husband gave me a long multicolored rib-knit scarf ten years ago. It has been my go-to accessory ever since: I adore its graphic use of squares and friendly colors. I have always wanted to replicate it, but never wanted to deal with the myriad ends that would need to be hidden.
Inspired by that favorite scarf and my love of magic loop knitting, I have resolved a method for a double thick cozy buttoned scarf. With no ends to weave in.

On Sunday morning, January 18, I will be teaching this method of quilted patchwork at the Trad Arts Studio, located at the Slater Mill in Pawtucket, RI.
By working in the round, we can cruise along with good ole stockinette stitch and produce double thick fabric. We will learn a transition from a single thickness fabric to double thickness, and back again. We can consume all those bits and bobs of left over yarn, you know the kind: Too short for another project, too long to throw away.
Check out the offerings for the weekend -- I am delighted to be a part of a gathering of stellar knitters.

I found this scarf on Pinterest and would love to buy the pattern, or learn your technique; however, I live in PA and cannot attend the class. Are you going to share that sometime, or would you be willing? It is beautiful!
What a great scarf - I want to learn that technique. Wish I could go. Why is all the good stuff in the NE? What's up with midwestern knitters?
Hey Melissa in PA! Thanks for your kind words! I will be releasing a pattern/tutorial for this scarf and the technique by March of 2015. I hope to teach it at more venues as well.
Hey ML, I think you're the only midwestern knitter I know, so I base all of my gross generalities on you. :o)
oooo, all the pretty colors! fantastic. I love the dicky conversion.
I also would loooove to get my grubby little mitts on this pattern/technique. I noticed you commented that you would be releasing the pattern/technique for this scarf by March 2015. What web site will you be releasing it on (yours, Ravelry, any others) and do you have an email newsletter or something so I can be in the know for the release of this info? Thanks so much, Diana
Hey Diana, Thanks! I will publish my pattern right here at this website, and it will be available for purchase at Ravelry. I do not have a newsletter, but if you email me your Ravelry name I will try to remember to remind you when it comes out.
Love this and, like many others, I'm anxious to learn how to knit it. I'm in the midst of an epic stash purge and plans for knitting this scarf will allow me to keep a few bits of favorite leftovers! Will wait for your publishing of the pattern.
Me too please. I am sisumama in ravelry in
Has this pattern been published yet so we can buy it? Can't wait to make it.
Thanks for all the love on this pattern! The class went really well and it was fun to see each person catch on. Barring a disaster, the pattern release date is set for February 12th.
Thank you so much for posting this! I loom knit a hat with lovely, soft yarn I found at a thrift store and used about half of it up for that. I'd love to make a long scarf to match, but found out the yarn's been discontinued for 10 years! This looks like I could make it with what I've got left. :)
