VIDEO: Knitting baby scarfs made easy
Knitting a baby scarf - instructions for beginners
An ideal knitting for beginners: A baby scarf is ready relatively quickly because it is not too big. You always work straight ahead, so you don't have to struggle with increasing and decreasing stitches. The rib pattern is also easy to knit and small irregularities in the stitch structure, a problem especially for beginners, are hardly noticeable with this pattern.
- However, you should already be able to do some basic techniques such as picking up stitches as well as right and purl stitches, even if it does not always work smoothly.
- Depending on the desired width of the baby scarf, you pick up 15 - 20 stitches.
- You start with the rib pattern in the first row. To do this, alternately knit a right stitch and 1 purl stitch.
- In the second row the stitches are now worked in the opposite direction: Now knit a purl on a right-hand stitch and a right-hand one on a left-hand stitch.
- Continuing these two rows creates a kind of frizzy pattern called a rib pattern.
- When you have reached the desired length of the infant carrier, the stitches are cast off. To do this, first knit two stitches and pull the back stitches over the front stitches. Knit another stitch and pass the back one over again. Continue until you are at the end of the row and there is only one stitch on the needle. Cut the thread a few centimeters long and pull the stitch through.
- Finally, sew the beginning and end thread and your beginner's piece, the baby scarf, is ready.
- If you've got the knitting: You can use the same pattern to make a scarf for children and / or adults.
