Knitting a Scarf

As mentioned in my previous blog, I have not crocheted any jewellery yet this year, instead I have been knitting!  It has been lovely siting down in these cold dark evenings and knitting while I watch TV. 

When I make my jewellery I need loads of light and so these dark evenings are great for knitting.  It is really easy to knit this scarf.

A Simple Ribbed Cream Wool Scarf

               I am using size 6½ mm knitting needles and 3 x 100gm balls of Wool blend Aran. 

 

The stitch is simple rib stitch.  Plain and purl stitch.

1) Cast on 46 stitches.

2)  Next Row:

Knit two stitches and then purl two stitches along the row until the end.

Continue knitting rib stitch for the whole of the scarf.  You can make it as long as you like.  It makes a lovely thick warm scarf.

 

 

                                 I have 3 x 100gm balls of the wool to make the scarf really long.

 

 This is how the scarf looks up close.

It measures 18cm by 270cm.

 

Tip:  At the beginning of each row slip the first stitch, then knit or purl the next stitch.  After that purl two and knit two, or knit two and purl two depending on the previous row.

 

 Hope you enjoy making it.  Have Fun!
