Beginner knitting pattern: DIY winter scarf
As we’ve discussed previously, we’re huge fans of knitting here at Over60. Not only is it a fun way to pass the time, but it’s also a wonderful way to keep your mind in tip-top shape. So, pick up those needles and yarn! Here’s a simple, chic winter scarf tutorial from The Spruce that’s perfect for beginners.
Required knowledge:
- Casting off
- Garter stitch
- Binding off
You will need:
- One skein of super bulky yarn (or more depending on desired length of scarf)
- 9mm needles
- Scissors
- Crochet hook (easier to use with bulky yarn than a needle)
Steps:
- Cast on 12 stitches.
- Knit every stitch and row until scarf is at desired length. If you wish to use another skein, here’s how to add in a new one.
- Bind off.
- Cut the yarn, leaving about a 15cm tail.
- Using the crochet hook, weave in the ends at the top and bottom
- Finished!
