How To Knit A Scarf
Knitting is a hobby for many persons as they do it for fun, taking it wherever they go. It can be really comforting and also provides persons with something to do when bored. As long as you bring your knitting bag with you, it can be done at any place. There are many things that can be knitted. These range from house accessories to easy pieces of clothing. However, one of the simplest projects to knit is a simple scarf. A scarf is a piece of fabric that is worn to decorate any outfit or for warmth during winter seasons. The scarf is one of the easiest items of clothing to knit. Here are the directions to create one on your own.
Materials:
Three balls of bulky yarn (preferably three different colours).
Tools:
A pair of scissors
A pair of straight knitting needles specifically size 17.5
Instructions:
1. The first thing to do is to cast on. Here's how:
To cast:
Make a slip knot in order to fasten the yarn to the knitting needle. To do this, untwist about 8 inches of yarn from the ball. grasp it in your left hand between the thumb and forefinger.
Use you right hand to wrap the ball end of the yarn around the forefinger and middle finger in a clockwise direction. Fingers should be about 1 inch apart.
Next, pull a loop of the ball end of the yarn through the loop around your fingers.
Drop the yarn off your fingers of your left hand but still grasp the loop with your right hand.
You are now ready to begin knitting.
To Knit:
Wrap the yarn under and then over the right needle. Use your index finger to guide the yarn.
Slide the yarn through the stitch on the left needle.
Pull that new stitch onto the right needle.
Each time you insert a new stitch to the right needle, get rid of the old stitch from the left needle.
Repeat the process until all the stitches on the left have been moved to the right.
Switch hands to build new rows.
4. Knit 12 rows, and then cut the yarn with the scissors, leaving 6 inches.
5. Add the second yarn.
6. Hold the end of the old yarn plus the new yarn together.
7. Knit five stitches then bind the ends in a small knot.
8. Knit 12 rows with the new yarn.
9. Cut off the old yarn leaving 6 inches.
10. Add the new yarn and repeat the same procedure you went through when you added the latter yarn.
11. Knit the first 2 stitches to finish off the scarf. Pull the first stitch over the second one and then pull off the needle.
12. Knit the next stitch and do the same thing on the left.
13. Repeat this procedure until the edge is securely fastened. Your scarf is now ready to wear!
