woolly scarf

Pick up a pair of knitting needles and get knitting. Knitting is relatively easy to learn - there are great tutorial videos on YouTube on how to knit, or I'm sure your Grandma would love to show you how!



Once you've learnt to knit you can produce a scarf like this one! This pattern used 2 different knitting needle sizes and basic knit and purl stitches for a nice drapey scarf. You will also need to know the knit-2-together and knit-front-and-back techniques.

I used 3 skeins of Chantilly.
9mm and 4.5mm needles.


Using your 9mm needles, cast on 24 stitches.
Knit one row.

Then follow this sequence:
9mm - Purl
9mm - Knit
9mm - Purl
9mm - Knit
9mm - Purl
4.5mm - K2T (You'll end up with 14 stitches on your needles)
4.5mm - Knit
4.5mm - Knit
4.5mm - Knit
4.5mm - Knit
4.5mm - Knit
9mm - KFB (You'll increase back to 24 stitches)


Cast off when you have reached your desired length.
I added tassles to finish it off.
You'll be nice and snug with this woolly scarf wrapped around your neck!

This is my interpretation of the original pattern posted on monster-yarn
