Construction
This gorgeous sleeved scarf is designed to wrap around the body like a hug. We’ll start with a long rectangle, worked using the 4-row repeat Wheat Stitch. From there, we’ll add the sleeves using a seamless join-as-you-go ribbing technique. Weave in your ends, and voila! You have a stylish and effortless sweater scarf, perfect for dressing up or down!

Repeats
Repeat Rows 3-6 until there are a total of 46 (46, 50, 50, 54) (54, 58, 58, 62) total rows. Do not fasten off. Go to Sleeve Ribbing.
Fit Tip: Check the depth of the fabric for fit. Does it cover your torso the way you like when wrapped around? Feel free to add or take out rows to your style.
Style
The Winter Wheat Sweater Scarf is a versatile piece, perfect for dressing up or down. Whether you pair it with jeans and a tee for a casual day out or layer it over a dress or slacks for a touch of elegance, this unique piece adds both style and snug comfort to any look! Add a super cute handbag like the Seven Granny Hexi Bag or the Granny Stitch Clutch to complete your outfit!
Sleeve Ribbing
Fit Tip: The starting chain of the ribbing will determine the length of the sleeve ribbing. Chain fewer sts for a shorter sleeve and more sts for a longer sleeve.
This section will work along the short side edge of the fabric.
Row 1:
Ch 41, sc in the 2nd ch from hook and across back towards the fabric body, sl st along the next 3 rows on the edge of the fabric body, turn. | 40 sc sts, 3 sl sts
Row 2:
Sk sl sts, blo sc 40, turn.
Row 3:
Ch 1, blo sc 40, sl st along the next 2 rows on the edge of the fabric body, turn. | 40 sc sts, 2 sl sts
Row 4:
Repeat Row 2.
Row 5:
Ch 1, blo sc 40, sl st along the next 3 rows on the edge of the fabric body, turn.
Row 6:
Repeat Row 2.
Next Rows:
Rep Rows 3-6 for ribbing across the edge of the body fabric. The ribbing repeat may not work out perfectly for all sizes, and that's okay. As you get to the end of the body edge keep doing rows sl st across either 2 or 3 row edges, being sure to end on an even row.
Fit Tip: As you work the ribbing, keep testing the fabric around your arm just below your elbow. The ribbing will have lots of stretch, but you may need to adjust your sl sts along the edge of the scarf body to skip more rows or sl st across more rows. This will adjust the ribbing circumference.
With the right side facing, fold the first and last rows to line up together. Sl st Row 1 of the ribbing to the current row by working through the blo of the current row and the blo from the first row. Then, continue to slip stitch up the arm until the desired closure. The sample was slip stitched approx 4 more inches past the ribbing. Just make sure it's not too snug to wrap around you.
Fasten off and flip the fabric right side out.
Attach the yarn to the edge of the other side of the fabric for the second sleeve. Repeat the instructions for the first sleeve, working the same number of rows.
