If you're visiting from Pinterest, thanks for stopping by! I've had an overwhelming response to this DIY. Please check out my other projects here.
I just learned how to knit about a week ago and love it! I decided for my first project I would make an infinity scarf. It's a big trend right now and usually sells for $40. I made mine for $10.
Here's the supplies I used:
Boye Size 15, 10" anodized aluminum needles
2-81 yd skeins of Lion Brand, Super Bulky, Dallas gray (#149) yarn
This is the pattern I used (from here):
Cast on 22 stitches
Row 1: (k1, p1) x 3, knit 10, (k1, p1) x 3
Row 2: (k1, p1) x 3, purl 10, (k1, p1) x 3
Repeat alternating row 1 and 2 until you run out of yarn. My scarf ended up being about 50 inches. Seam ends together.
The end result:
This took me about 5 days. I usually knit when I was watching TV or in between classes.
The end result:
Here's how the inside (knitted) side looks.
Here's a close up of the outer (purled) side.
The early stages.
My cat liked playing with the yarn ball or just staring at it.
Here's the scarf in a couple different outfits:
How did you get your scarf to lie flat? I just recently made a scarf with this pattern, and the ribbing made the ends curl in making the scarf a lot narrower looking.
ReplyDeleteI'm not an expert knitter by any means, but I would try knitting more loosely next time. If you used non-acrylic yarn, this link has a way to fix the rolled edges on the scarf you've already made: http://www.ehow.com/how_8790042_fix-rolled-edges-knitted-scarf.html Hope this helps!
