Materials and Tools:
Before you start knitting, you'll need to gather the following materials and tools:
Circular knitting needle - choose one that is the right size for the yarn you've chosen
Yarn - choose a weight and color that you like
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Step 1: Casting On
The first step is to cast on your yarn. There are many different casting on techniques, but the most common and easiest for beginners is the basic casting on method. To do this, follow these steps:
1、Make a slipknot at the end of your yarn.
2、Place the slipknot onto the circular needle.
3、Take the working yarn and wrap it around the needle counterclockwise.
4、Take the working yarn and pass it through the loop on the needle in a clockwise direction.
5、Tighten the loop by pulling gently on the working yarn.
6、Repeat steps 3-5 until you have the desired number of stitches on your needle.
Step 2: Knitting the Scarf
Once you have cast on your stitches, you can start knitting the scarf. There are many different patterns and techniques you can use, but the most basic is the garter stitch. To do this, follow these steps:
1、With your working yarn in your right hand, insert the needle into the first stitch on your left-hand needle in a clockwise direction.
2、Wrap the working yarn around the needle counterclockwise.
3、Take the working yarn and pass it through the loop on the left-hand needle in a clockwise direction.
4、Tighten the loop by pulling gently on the working yarn. This completes one knit stitch.
5、Repeat steps 1-4 until you have knitted the desired length of scarf.
Step 3: Binding Off
When you have finished knitting the scarf, you'll need to bind off the stitches. This is a simple process that involves casting off the last stitch onto the right-hand needle and then cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing up any loose ends later on if desired). To do this, follow these steps:
1、With your working yarn in your right hand, insert the needle into the first stitch on your left-hand needle in a clockwise direction.
2、Wrap the working yarn around the needle counterclockwise as usual during a knit stitch but do not pass it through yet another loop forming on your left-hand needle). This creates one bound-off stitch onto your right-hand needle).
3、Repeat step 2 until all of your stitches are bound off onto your right-hand needle). Then cut off excess yarn leaving about 6 inches (15 cm) tail for sewing up any loose ends later on if desired).
4、Thread tapestry needle with cut end of working yarn and use it to sew up any loose ends along scarf edge).
5、Weave in all ends securely so they won't come loose later on while wearing or washing scarf). Now your scarf is complete! Enjoy wearing it!
