Scarves



I have been busy crocheting
scarves.

Just in time to sell them for Christmas!



To make my scarves, I simply chain as wide as I want, and single crochet until it is as long as I want. Then, single crochet around the sides of the scarf, and weave in ends!



Merry Christmas!

Fringing A Scarf

Fringing a scarf can really change its whole appearance. Here's how you do it:

You will need a scarf, (knitted or crocheted) a ruler, scissors, a needle with a large eye, and yarn.

Depending on the length that you want the fringe to be, you can cut pieces of yarn at different lengths. I cut my pieces at 9 inches for medium length fringe.


Fold your yarn in half and thread the folded part through the needle.

Slip your needle through one of the whole in the bottom of the scarf.


Bring the bottom pieces of the thread up through the loop on the scarf.


Tighten the yarn.
Your fringe will most likely be uneven. To fix this, you can line the fringe up at the edge up a table, place a ruler on top to keep it steady, and cut away the uneven pieces.

And you are done fringing! Sorry that the pictures didn't quite turn out, but hopefully they were helpful.

This scarf was knit by casting on 20 stitches on a size 10 needle, and knit the whole way through.

Knitting Scarves


This scarf was my first knitting project. It took me a long time, but I really enjoyed it.

I casted on 20 stitches and then I alternated knitting and purling rows. Knit one row, purl one row...=) By doing this, The front and the back look completely different.


I had trouble with the scarf curling in while I was knitting, so I tried blocking it, but nothing happened. So...... I ironed it. Nothing extremely bad happened. The stitches flattened out a bit, but nothing horrible happened.

If you don't know how to nit, I would advise getting someone to teach you rather than learning from a book. That is really hard thing to do!

I hope you have a great time knitting.
