Instructions
Step 1
The hardest part about a striped scarf is the color change. For example, when knitting a scarf with knitting needles, you need to dial the loops to the desired width and knit in one color. After the strip with this color is completed, at the end of the row you need to cross the threads with the next color, set aside the ball of the previous color and continue to knit further in a different color.
Step 2
If the stripes in the scarf are wide enough, then you can cross threads of different colors every two rows, or use the broaches on the side of the scarf. Then, to hide them, you can process the finished scarf with a crustacean step.
Step 3
If the horizontal stripes alternate over a long distance, then the strips can be finished by breaking the thread and carefully weaving it into the subsequent knitting, changing the color of the thread. You can crochet a scarf in the same way.
Step 4
If your scarf has horizontal stripes, then the thread changes along the edge of the scarf. Threads of a different color simply stretch along and periodically hook into the closing loops of the row. Subsequently, these thickenings can be masked with tassels, which are usually used to decorate scarves.
Step 5
To make a fringe for a scarf, you need to take a piece of thread, bend it in half and stretch it with a hook to the edge of the scarf. Then the two free ends of the thread are pulled through the loop and tightened. After that, all that remains is to wash the scarf and steam it off.
