I had so much fun knitting my first scarf I decided to knit a second. I wanted to continue to learn and to try a lighter weight yarn. It's still a very simple pattern that's very easy for even the very beginner knitter. Overall it was a nice little project/learning experience and I am happy with the result.
Needles: Size US 8 aluminum
Yarn:
- 1 skein - 256 yards
- Worsted Weight - Medium (4)
- Red Heart Soft Yarn in the color "Dark Leaf"
Pattern:
cast on a number of stitches that is a multiple of 6
all odd rows: *k3 p3; repeat from *
all even rows: *k1 p1; repeat from *
(k=knit; p=purl)
Dates: Started 2/10; Completed 2/21
Things I learned:
- How to knit a purl stitch
- How to switch between knit and purl stitches within one row
- How to undo a stitch (knit and purl)
- It was more fun knitting with the really bulky yarn in the first project
Next up: a matching hat!
Looks awesome!
Love the color!
Thank you! I am seriously having so much fun. The possiblities are endless! Unfortunately (or fortunately, heh) Spring and then summer are around the conrner and who knows how much knitting I will feel like doing then. I will DEFINITELY pick it up again in the fall though.
