Easy knit scarf

This is a super easy scarf to knit - even for a beginner. As always I am hopeless writing patters but I shall give this a try:
Use large needles - I used a US 10. You will need lots of different yarns, more or less the same weight and in the colors of your choice.
I cast on 50 stitches. Then knitted up the yarns randomly, but attaching the ends using a knot and bow. I didn't join the yarn as one should (hiding the ends) but instead emphasized the join. - Does that make sense?
Knit, using stocking stitch, or knit stitch for as long as you like! It will be almost reversible. Also, make sure you change color randomly as you want to avoid a stripy effect.
You can purchase the finished version HERE or request a custom order.

I am just learning to knit, and was given a lot of left-over yarns, so this is a perfect project for me! I'll post again once I finish. Christy

I'm just a beginner and have attempted to knit a few scarves on my own and without knowing what I was doing. Thank goodness there's finally a pattern even I can follow! I love the idea of using left-overs. I will definately try this one, thanks!Debbi

This looks so cute! I have years of different bits and pieces of yarns that are just waiting for something like this. One question though, when you say that you join the yarns with a bow, are you really just tying a bow? Am I making complicated the uncomplicated?

This is a wonderful way to use up left-over yarn! I am not too experienced a knitter, but I did make a couple of blankets using left-over yarn. I did not think anyone would like it, but it turns out my kids and grandkids fight over the blanket! If I can figure out how to post a pic, I will do it.

I just found your blog. I've done the same thing with yarn ends - just make a bow knot (if I give "whatever" as a gift, I tell the recipient that it's a "love knot" from me to them!). I also slip the first stitch of every row so that it won't "roll". I enjoyed reading some of your patterns. I'm mostly a crocheter but taught myself to knit when I was late 20s. Second thing I knitted was a dress! I'm at http://netagenesnicethings.blogspot.com

I have been knitting for charity constantly for 3 years. I HATE to weave in ends. This is a great way to use up bits or yarn and not have to weave in ends. many thanks!

Looks more like garter stitch, which would be perfect!

2 needle fingerless gloves

This is an easy pattern that can be adapted according to your skill. I used worsted weight yarn and US 5 needles. You need just over 50gms of yarn. I also found that knitting them both at the same times ensures that they bout turn out the same ! Cast on 42 sts Knit 20 rows in k2 p2 rib on the 20th row place markers this way: k20 place marker, k2, place marker, k20 the 2 sts between the markers will form the increase for the thumb. Switch to stocking stitch (1 row K - right side- 1 row P - wrong side) Knit to marker, (20 sts) knit twice in the next stitch and in the one after that (the sts between the markers) K20 next row and all wrong side rows, Purl Knit 20 sts (you have reached the marker) knit twice in next stitch, K2 (till next marker) and K twice in the stitch before the marker K20 Continue this way, always increasing a stitch at each marker till you have 16sts between the markers. k 2 rows then with right side facing, k20, CO 16, k20 (shaping the thumb) nex

An easy shawl pattern

I wrote this as i knitted it so if you find any mistakes let me know! The cast on sts are the top of the shawl, the cast off will be the bottom. This is a very basic pattern that you can then embellish - i used an eyelet pattern on random rows.(k2tog YO) The first stitches should not be slipped (as i usually do when knitting) but knitted. You can use any yarn you like with its corresponding needles. there really is no gauge You can also knit it to any size. Just remember that the final amount of stitches you have will be its width and the number of rows you knit will be the length. You can check that on a swatch and calculate accordingly Cast on 7 stitches. Row 1 (RS): k2, yo, k1, yo,place marker k1 place marker, yo, k1, yo, k2. Row 2 (WS): K2 , P to last 2 sts knit last 2 sts (and on all WS) Row 3 (RS): k2, yo, k to marker, YO, k1,move marker YO, k to last 2 stitches, YO, k2. and so on So to give a quick recap. The 1st 2 sts of every row are always K followed by YO Be
