Sometimes you just don't know how many stitches to cast on for a scarf, so here's the perfect solution. Just cast on a few stitches and increase until you have the width that you want for your scarf.
Tips
- I used garter stitch for my scarf so it wouldn't roll on the sides.
- You will INCREASE and DECREASE every other row and KNIT the rows between.
- Cast on 3 stitches.
- Knit next row.
- Increase in 1st stitch and last stitch.
- Knit next row.
- Increase in 2nd and next to last stitch, end k last stitch.
- Knit next row.
- Continue in this manner until you have as many stitches as you want on the needle.
- Knit all rows till you get to as long as you want the scarf-minus the pointed end.
- Start decreasing to match the other end.
- When you have one stitch left on the needle pull the yarn through and cut off tail.
- Add a tassel if you want.
