Wrapped In Yarn

Think about those cold winter nights where you can’t go anywhere or do anything. What are you going to do? Knit a scarf, of course! Anyone can knit a scarf with these 5 easy steps. Have fun and happy knitting! :)

1. Pick your yarn!

This is the most important part! If you don’t have yarn, how are you going to make a scarf??? You want your yarn to be something you are going to enjoy wearing. If you want to be warm, get a thick and chunky yarn. If you want just a cute, light scarf to wear around on those fall nights, pick a thinner and lighter yarn. Your yarn should also be soft and not itchy. Who wants to wear an itchy scarf all day? Not me! Your scarf should also be something that's going to match a lot of things. You're going to want to wear your scarf with a lot of things throughout the winter. So it needs to be a color that you wear a lot, or something that will match almost everything.

Get your knitting needles!

Any size will do! If you want your scarf to be the typical "Chunky" scarf, you will want to use larger gauged needles. Larger needles would be fantastic for a nice, thick winter scarf. If you want an everyday scarf just to keep the chill off your neck, then you would want to use smaller gauged needles. Any size you use would be pretty though.

It’s time to cast on stitches!

The first step in making your scarf is called casting on. This is how you will start any knitting project. Casting on can be quite confusing. So with this tutorial, it should be a little easier. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+to+cast+on+knitting&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=2622D66095D27C7B127F2622D66095D27C7B127F

Just keep knitting, knitting.

Along with casting on, doing a regular stitch can kind of be complicated at times. A regular stitch is what's going to make the body of our scarf. So to make things a little easier, here’s a link that teaches you how to do a regular stitch. http://www.bing.com/videos/searchq=how+to+do+a+simple+stitch+in+knitting&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=0CA0527C47A172C222390CA0527C47A172C22239
