Patterns for Knitting a Scarf
January 26th 2012 -
Patterns for knitting a scarf can include a lot of repeated knits and purls or combinations of such. Listed below is one of those:
You’ll need:
1. 180-yard yarn (preferably with glitz) or you can choose to use 2 pieces of yarns that are held together as 165m mohair blend coupled with 180 yards of thin or glitzy yarn 2. Size 11 US needles 3. Tapestry needle
Size: The finished piece is 132×18 centimeters.
Begin by casting on 20 stitches, leaving approximately a 10 cm tail. Work in garter stitch (done by knitting every row) until such time that the scarf measures approximately 132cm.
You can continue knitting until there is just enough yarn to secure the yarn tail and bind off the stitches. (this is approximately 6 inches plus 4 times the width of the piece). Loosely, bind off the stitches. (I recommend that you match the elasticity of the cast on edge).
Cut the yarn. Don’t forget to leave a 10cm tail. Thread the tapestry needle. To secure the piece, weave through the bound off stitches. You can weave in the tail in the same manner.
