What you’ll need:
- 4-5 balls of Cotton 100% yarn from Katia Yarns. I used Color 12 (Tan)
- Black sewing thread
- 3.5mm straight knitting needles
- Darning needle for weaving in ends
Abbreviations:
- CO: Cast on (we used the classic long-tail cast on)
- k: knit
- Sl1wyib: slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn held in back
- Sl1wyif: slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn held in front
Gauge:
- 23 stitches = 10cm in garter stitch on 3.5mm needles.
Sizes:
- This pattern is one-size. The scarf measure approximately 18cm wide, and can be knit to any length.
Notes:
- I find cotton yarn to be a bit heavy, leading to overly-stretched garments. So I added a single strand of black sewing thread. The sewing thread stops excessive stretching while also adding a nice visual effect.
