Easy Knit Scarf
This is a simple scarf to make. I was playing around with some yarn and ended up with a simple pattern to make.
Cast on an even number of stitches. You can get creative here, depending on the width you would like, the yarn to be used and how wide you would like the scarf to be.
I used Sensations Bulky yarn
Size 15 needles
28 stitches cast on
Row 1: knit 2, purl 2 to end
Row 2: knit 1, purl 1 to end
Repeat these rows 1 and 2 till scarf is the length you would like. Fringe may be added to the ends if you like.
Happy knitting!!
