It’s not for everyone to have an easy, smooth journey from beginner to expert knitter. You may well encounter some bumps on the way. You may notice that your knitting is too tight or loose, or you might see little holes in your work. Don’t worry, these issues are normal for beginners.

  1. Knit Your First Scarf

You’re now ready to knit your very first scarf. What a great experience!

Cast on the number of stitches equal to your desired scarf width. Knit until the scarf is at the desired length. Cast off. That’s it!

Some people like long, luxurious scarves with generous lengths hanging on either side. Some people like them short, while others are looking for a compromise. You do you!

Cast on, knit stitch and cast off are skills that can be used. To find out about buying a Knitting Kit, visit https://www.woolcouturecompany.com/collections/knitting-kits
