Pattern for baby scarf
Ok, I finally sat down and wrote it out. Enjoy!
(Wow, is that a bad photo. Sorry.)
Use needles to match the size of your yarn. The gauge of the yarn I used was about 4.5 stitches per inch, but a thicker or thinner yarn could also be used.
Materials: double pointed needles and 100-200 yards of yarn depending on the thickness of the yarn
Cast on 2 stitches.
1. K2
2. K1, M1, M1, K1
3. all odd numbered rows: knit
4. K1, M1, K2, M1, K1
6. K1, M1, K4, M1, K1
8. K1, M1, K6, M1, K1
10. K1, M1, K8, M1, K1
12. K1, M1, K10, M1, K1
14. K1, M1, K12, M1, K1
16. K1, M1, K14, M1, K1
18. K1, M1, K16, M1, K1
20. K1, M1, K18, M1, K1
22-32. Knit
With double-point needles, slip 1st stitch on needle 1, 2nd stitch on needle 2, 3rd stitch on needle 1, etc. Odd stitches will be on needle 1 and even stitches on needle 2.
Work 1 x 1 rib for 1 1/2 inches on each needle respectively (break yarn after working needle 1, before working needle 2)
Holding needles together, knit 1st stitch from 1st needle, then 1st stitch from 2nd needle until all 22 stitches are on one needle
Knit every row until scarf is the desired length (for the scarf I made the baby, this section measured about 11" not including the rib or the end)
With double-point needles, slip 1st stitch on needle 1, 2nd stitch on needle 2, 3rd stitch on needle 1, etc. as done previously. Odd stitches will be on needle 1 and even stitches on needle 2.
Work 1 x 1 rib for 1 1/2 inches on each needle respectively (break yarn after working needle 1, before working needle 2)

Thank you so much for posting the pattern! I'll let you know how it goes (I've never used double-pointed needles before)!
Thanks for posting this pattern. I'm not much of a knitter but I admire that you are willing to share.
You are a generous friend, I saw just how nice you are.

I am SO glad you figured out this scarf! Can't wait to try it! Do you remember what size needles you used? I assume it was DK yarn or there-abouts! Thanks again!!!A relatively new knitter in NJ.........
Hi anonymous. Sorry I can't reply via email - no reply address wa supplied via blogspot, so I'll post a reply here. The yarn I used was about 25 st, 34 rows per 4" swatch (I always forget, but I think that's a Sport weight, right?) and called for a size 3 needle. But you should be able to use any size yarn, really. Good luck, and send me a photo when you're done. I'd love to see it!
I love this scarf! I am a new knitter. How much experience do you need to knit this scarf? Thank you!!!
THANK YOU!!! I have been obsessed with finding this pattern ever since I saw this cute scarf on the cover of a magazine at my OB's office. :) I will be sure to post a pic of my sweet 9 month old in it when I am done. :)
I love this scarf:)....I would liek to make one for my mother, just not sure how much more stitches I wouold need. If you know of a pattern for an adult can you please let me know....thank you
There is an adult version called the "Bow-Knot" or "Tuck-In" scarf.

Many thanks for the great pattern! A fun knit that is perfect for the little ones. You can see the results (but not the best photo...) here.
this scarf is amazing I love it thanks for the pattern!
What are double pointed needles?can I just use normal needles?
Dear Disdressed:
Thank you very much for offering the pattern for the baby bowtie scarf. It was a fast moving, fun scarf to knit.
I made the scarf for my granddaughter in a beautiful pink, and it turned out lovely.
I am certain I will use the pattern again and again.
Thank you again for sharing
