This season, long scarves that can be wrapped around the neck several times are firmly in fashion. Knitting such a scarf is within the power of not only experienced needlewomen, but also beginner knitters. Before knitting a beautiful scarf on knitting needles, you need to decide exactly what this scarf should be: classic or sporty, plain or colored, simple in execution or decorated.
It is necessary
- - yarn
- - knitting needles
Instructions
Step 1
To knit a beautiful scarf on the needles, you will need about 2-4 skeins of yarn (depending on how long you plan to knit the scarf). For a sports scarf, bright shades of yarn, plain and jacquard are suitable.
Step 2
To knit a scarf, dial 50 loops on the knitting needles, which in the future will correspond to the width of the finished product (about 25 centimeters). Knit first row with knit and purl stitches, alternating one at a time.
Step 3
Knit the second and subsequent rows as follows: knit the front loop, putting the knitting needle into the loop of the previous row, remove the purl loop. In this technique, knitting of the so-called English gum is performed.
Step 4
To avoid the formation of an uneven edge of the finished product, edge loops need to be knitted only in one direction.
Step 5
At the height of the product from 100 to 200 centimeters (depending on the desired length of the scarf), close all the loops, wash the product, let it dry in order to avoid further shrinkage during use.
Step 6
A classic scarf can be knitted in the same way as a sports scarf, with a difference in the choice of color and texture of the yarn. To knit a scarf with front loops, cast on 80 loops on the needles and knit the product with stocking stitch (front row - front loops, purl row - purl loops). At the end of knitting, wet the fabric, let it dry and sew along the side seams with the wrong side to the inside.
Step 7
The scarf can be decorated with pom-poms, fringes, tassels. To make a fringe, prepare several identical pieces of yarn, folded several times. Then fold each segment in half and thread it between the loops of the first row, securing it with a knot. Do the same for all the lengths on both sides of the scarf.
Step 8
To make brushes, wind several turns of yarn around four fingers of your hand, fix the turns with a knot at a height of 1 centimeter from one edge, cut the second edge and trim the ends of the brush.
Step 9
To make pom-poms, take two rings cut from thick cardboard, connect them together and wrap them in several layers with yarn. Then cut the threads along the edge of the larger ring, thread the fixing thread between the rings of the cardboard and tie it tightly in a knot. Remove the cardboard rings, trim the pompom with scissors.
