I often see people reaching my site by searching on twisted drop stitch scarf pattern or some combination thereof. Unfortuantely for them they reach a finished project but no pattern. So for them (and the fact I may forget how to do this one day as my mind starts to break down with age) I have written out the pattern. This may be it for the patterns for a while.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the pattern please email me at delirium(at)nycap(dot)rr(dot)com.
Materials:
[MC] Lion’s Brand Thick and Quick; 3 skeins
1 set US 15 Needles
Gauge: 7st = 4″
Notes:
Create a twisted drop stitch: Insert needle into the stitch as if to knit. Instead of wrapping the yarn around the back needle to create a regular knit stitch, wrap yarn around both needles and then wrap around the back needle. Complete stitch as you would normally.
Pattern
- Cast on 21 stitches
- Row 1: k all stitches
- Row 2: k all stitches
- Row 3: Twisted Drop Stitch all stitches
- Row 4: k all stitches
- Row 5: k all stitches
- Row 6: k all stitches
- Row 7: Twisted Drop Stitch all stitches
- Repeat rows 1 – 7 until scarf equals desired length
Finishing
Cut yarn leaving a 4-6″ tail. Weave in ends.
Tassels
Cut four 23″ strands of yarn for each tassel. Fill up each scarf end with tassels. I used about 9 per side

knitdds,
Thank you!
Beautiful! Scarves are my holiday gifts this year (don’t tell ;-) ) and I’ve the perfect yarn for this pattern. Wonderful! Thank you.
I hope the recipient loves it. Let me know if there are any questions on the pattern.
Thank you for sharing this pattern. I knit it on 5mm needles with a lighter yarn and tasseled it. It turned out lacier and delicate. My daughter loved it.
I just found this scarf by Googling to see what a “twisted stitch” looked like. It is absolutely beautiful, and I am going to make this for an upcoming scarf exchange among friends. Thank you *so* much for publishing this pattern on the web!
Have you copyrighted the stitch “twisted drop stitch”?
Thanks for the pattern, very nice! I found while looking for how to do that stitch too :) I assume that you must have to end with a couple of knit rows though rather than ending on row 7 which is twisted drop stitch? Also I have no idea about how to join in tassels but it is probably detailed elsewhere..
Thank you so much for the explanation. I could not figure out how to wrap both needles as the dropped stitch tutorial I found first did not mention inserting the needle into the stitch first!
