Scarves are a great starting point for new knitters since the pattern is straightforward. Since you'll be using the same patterns for every row, knitting a scarf is perfect for practicing and getting into the groove of knitting. Using a simple garter stitch to create the scarf is a fast and simple option that will still provide you with a finished product and a sense of accomplishment.

If you know how to cast on, knit, and bind off, you have the skills to create a basic scarf. However, if you're unfamiliar with knitting basics, this easy scarf guide has all the information you need to get started.

Knitting supplies needed for this project

· Knitting needles with a US size 13 (or 9.0 mm) tip

· A crochet hook size M/13 (9.0 mm) for finishing up and weaving up ends

· Scissors

· Bulky yarn (weight of between 100 and 200 yards) in your desired colors

Follow these steps and start knitting!

Once you have all your knitting and crochet supplies, it’s time to get to work. It’ll take some time, attention, and practice, but you’ll get the hang of it eventually. Besides, the finished scarf will be evidence of a job well done. Here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Cast on stitch

Start a new row by casting on 12 stitches. You can adjust the number of stitches to make a scarf of different widths. This one will be around 5 inches in width.

Step 2: Time to begin knitting!

Knit in garter stitch across all stitches and rows until you're left with roughly a yard of yarn left or the scarf reaches your preferred length. If you want to make the scarf longer or change the color, all you have to do is add another ball of yarn.

Step 3: Cut off loose ends

The next step is to bind off loose ends. Leave a 6-inch tail when cutting the yarn. You'll need the ends loose for the next step.

Step 4: Wrap up

If you're using more than one ball of yarn, use the knitting hook and weave in any tails at the beginning and end of each row. If necessary, you can block the section to smooth out the stitches.
