Anyone can make a scarf.There's no need to spend a lot of money at the store.You can begin by knitting a scarf.The most basic stitching pattern is used for this scarf pattern.You only need two knitting needles and yarn.If you're looking for a more difficult project, think about knitting mittens.
Step 1: Take your materials.
It's easier to use thick needles and bulky yarn for first time knitters.You will learn how to switch between balls of yarn as you knit.If you prefer, you can keep the same color for the whole scarf and skip the steps about changing it.If you want to achieve a multicolored look without changing yarns, try a variegated yarn.200 yards of yarn is all you need.Bigger needles create a tighter stitch.You can choose the size that you want.Size 8 to 10 needles are used for worsted weight yarn.
Step 2: Get comfortable.
If you wind up knitting for hours, make sure you are sitting in a comfortable chair.If you're in a well-lit area, you can move your arms and needles freely.
Step 3: You can cast on.
If you are a beginner knitter, you should make a scarf that is small enough to keep you warm, but not so large that it takes too long to knit.You need to cast on 30 to 40 stitches for a nice-sized scarf if you are knitting with worsted weight yarn and size 8 to 10 needles.
Step 4: Knit.
If you do not want to knit the other color immediately, you don't have to, either.You can knit to this point, put it down and come back later or tomorrow.This is what makes knitting great.It will pull funny if you leave your knitting in the middle of a row.
Step 5: After you complete the 12th row, cut the yarn with scissors.
It's important to leave a 6-inch tail.If you don't want to have a second color, then skip this step and just knit in the one color all the way to the end.Check the dye lot listed on the yarn label if you plan to make a single-colored scarf.To avoid manufacturing variations in color, make sure to get the same dye lot.If you are buying one ball of each color, you don't need to worry about the dye lot.
Step 6: The second color of yarn should be added to the first color.
This will make your scarf look professional.Align the end of the yarn's tail with the beginning.Hold them together in your left hand, away from the thread of the new color that you'll be knitting.
Step 7: The second color of yarn is what you should start knitting with.
Pull on the ends after about 5 stitches.
Step 8: The ends should be left loose.
You can use a tapestry needle or crochet hook to weave them into the scarf.When knitting, never tie knots to change colors.It's difficult to correct mistakes when you can see them.
Step 9: With the new yarn, knit 12 rows.
You did the same thing with the first color.
Step 10: You can add your third color of yarn.
If you follow the instructions, you can add the second color yarn.Cut the yarn with your scissors and leave a 6-inch tail.You can do this many times.If you prefer a dominant color, you can have smaller or larger sections.
Step 11: As with the second color, knit 12 rows again.
You could accidentally drop a stitch if you go on autopilot.Continue alternating colors until the scarf reaches a desired length.The scarf will have different colors when finished.
Step 12: Cast off.
Wrap your scarf around your neck.Doesn't it feel good?To hide the end of your scarf, use a crochet hook.A knot can be seen and looked at in a different way.
