@Yarnchick Her words "a giant thick scarf" which is 100% not what I normally make. I'm with you - my go to is sock yarn and something more shaped. I've found a few things that might work, but I think I'm going to have to investigate what all I have on hand.
@ekg1976 that is a tough one! The giant part is easy, it’s choosing the fiber so it has some drape and the ideal squishyness…you could go with multiple strands of sock held together and put the spotlight on the yarn and not on an intricate pattern…or super bulky in one color with cables
@Yarnchick Exactly. I'm contemplating learning to do brioche for this, as an excuse, but I'm not 100% sold on that yet. I do love the Cable it Up pattern for a quick knit, but I did a shorter one of those for her using sock yarn already, so I feel like I want to do something a little different this time. I am also honestly considering a quick crocheted scarf using the V-stitch I've been using for damn near everything lately. It's easy and quick and looks lovely.
So. Many. Choices. 😶
@ekg1976 a Vstitch sounds good! Definitely squishy😊
@ekg1976 I don't have a link but I love a crocheted ruffle scarf with soft fluffy yarn - quick and cute!
@ekg1976
Cartridge belt rib is a very nice way to get loft IMO.
@Helical_Code I'll have to check that out, not one I'm familiar with. Thanks!
Here's a video!

When making a scarf, I slip the first (or last) stitch to give a smooth edge. I might cast on 4n + 1 instead of 4n + 3. I'll check my scarf in progress at home and let you know.
Also, I knit German not English, and probably wouldn't like the pattern as much if it were the other way round.
Fantastic, thanks! 🤩
@ekg1976 yarn weight? Approx finished size? (Like lenny kravitz, standard, or cowl)
I am sock yarn & triangle scarf girl, so I don’t want to give you a bunch of nopes
