WICKED EASY SCARF
Using size 11 or 13
needles, cast on 24 or 28 stitches (or any multiple
of 4 for a wider scarf) using a soft knitting
worsted weight yarn.
Just K2, P2 every row
until it is as long as you want!
Fringe the ends if
desired.
WARM AND WOOLY SCARF
Using worsted weight yarn and a 29" long
circular needle size 8 or 9 or using DK weight
yarn and a 29" long circular needle size 7, cast
on about 150 to 175 stitches; knit every row
(the garter stitch makes for a fluffier and
therefore warmer scarf).
At
the end of each row, you can make a very neat
end by: knit to within the last 3 stitches of
the row; bring the yarn to the front as if to
purl, and slip the last 3 stitches as if to
purl.
Next
Row, when you pull the yarn from 3 stitches back
to knit the first stitch, it causes the end
stitches to wrap around themselves and make a
neat finished edge. BUT if that's too much
trouble, you don't have to do it.
Continue until the scarf is as wide as wanted;
bind off loosely.
Fringe if desired. This is especially pretty if
you use a variegated, heather, or flecked yarn.
PATTERNED
SCARF
With
DK yarn and size 6 or 7 straight needles, cast
on about 36 stitches or a multiple of 6).
For
the first three rows: K3, P3 straight across.
For
the next three rows, P3, K3 straight across.
This makes a pleasant little texture and is
great with a solid color yarn (also it is a
reversible pattern - no front or back to the
scarf).
Knit
as long as desired; bind off; fringe if you
like.
FLAT HAT
With #10 needles, cast on
72 stitches.
Work in K2 P2 ribbing for
8 inches. Next row, *knit 2, purl 2 together. Repeat
from * across.
Work next 3 rows in
stockinette stitch (alternate knit and purl rows).
Next row, *knit 2
together. Repeat from * across.
Bind off,
leaving a long tail when you cut yarn.
Weave end
through the bound off edge, pulling
tightly to close up the hole in the top
of the hat. Sew the side seam from top
to bottom and weave in any remaining
ends.
