This week, we will begin with a garter stitch boarder – knit each row for approximately one inch to form the bottom of the scarf. I have cast on 40 stitches and plan to use 4 on each side to continue the garter stitch up the right and left side.
For new knitters, this is a “knit only” stitch that acts as a stable end & side to support the different patterns within the scarf. It will help to give the scarf a finished look.

Okay! One inch done :)
ReplyDeleteHello amazing knitters!! I learning about your project through the LA Modern Quilt Guild. I am just finishing up a scarf that I'd love to donate. Can you let me know where I should send my donation?
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Kathy
I started last night! Thanks for getting this started! Are we aiming for a certain width?
ReplyDeleteHi Rosanna!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I was working on Tara's basket weave pattern last night myself. It's great to knit again.
To answer your question: We are not aiming at exact sizes for the width, but something in the 8 inch range.
We have selected the number of stitches as 40 because that number works with the patterns we are planning.
I would suggest trying to stay with the 40 stitches and adjust your needle size if you would like to stay within the 8 inch range.
Does this help?
