MATERIALS NEEDED (available separately or as a kit in my shop or at www.plyarn.com).
~2 Skeins* of PLYarn’s Single Bulky in your choice of color. (Each skein is approximately 76 yd/70 m)
~US 11 (8 mm) Knitting Needles
~A Tapestry (or Yarn) Needle
*If you wish to make and extra long version or add fringe, you will need 3 skeins.
SKILLS NEEDED & PRACTICED
Cast On, Knit Stitch (for Garter Stitch), Slip Stitch, Cast Off, Weaving In Ends, Blocking.
GAUGE
For 4 x 4 swatch, 11 stitches and 13 rows in Garter Stitch, unblocked. (Or 12 stitches and 9.5 rows, after blocking). Don’t sweat it, gauge for this project is not critical!
FINISHED SIZE
Approximate measurements are 6 x 48 inches for this 2 skein scarf, this can be adjusted a bit during blocking. If you use 3 skeins, your scarf will be approximately 6 x 70 inches. Or use the 3rd skein to create a fringe. For a wider, shorter scarf, simply cast on more stitches using the gauge above as a guide.
SKILL LEVEL
Beginner, very easy, a great first project.
For more experienced knitters, this is a great "mindless knit" and a very quick knit - great for a quick gift!
