Yarn Scarf

How long can I make a scarf with 244 yards of yarn.? I don't know how wide it is supposed to be maybe 7 or 8 inches wide. Is that enough. Some tips would be really helpful as i am just a beginner. It definately depends on the size of the yarn you are using, and also the stitch you are using. If you are using a thinner yarn, you will not get as much length...a thicker yarn will give you more length. You will get more length if you use a lacy stitch rather than a tight stitch pattern. Check with the folks on Ravelry.com (link below). It's sort of like "My space" for knitters, with lots of forums with literally thousands of people to answer questions like these. There's a huge pattern browser that recognises most brands of yarn, and all the different weights of yarn. You have to sign up, and maybe wait a day or two to be approved. Even if you just want to go ahead and get started on your scarf right now, it will be an invaluable resource on your knitting journey. Mostly just relax and have fun! Happy knitting!

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!
