  Step 1

  Hold needle with stitches in left hand; insert point of right needle in first stitch, from front to back, just as in casting on.

• 

  Step 2

  Insert the point of the right needle, from front to back, into the stitch and under the left needle.

• 

  Step 3

  Hold left needle still in left hand, and move left fingers over to brace right needle.

• 

  Step 4

  With your free right hand, pick up the yarn and wind around the right needle- from the right to left, then between the two needles.

• 

  Step 5

  This step now differs from casting on: Return right fingers to right needle, still keeping a hold of the yarn, and draw yarn through stitch with point of right needle. Pull the new stitch / loop to the right and slip loop on left needle off, so new stitch is entirely on right needle.

• 

  Step 6

  This completes one knit stitch! Repeat Steps 1 to 5 in each stitch still on left needle. When the last stitch is worked, one row of knitting is completed.

• Step 7

  Repeat this process for every stitch on each row until your work has reached the desired length. Once there, time to cast off! And sew ends in…

• Step 8

  The Garter Stitch Scarf

  PATTERN
  Make 1 slip knot.
  Using 7.5mm knitting needles, cast on 15 sts.
  Row 1: knit every stitch
  Cont. row 1 until scarf is desired length.
  Cast off sts loosely.

  Repeat Steps 1, 2 and 3 until one stitch remains; now cut yarn from ball, leaving at least 15cm tail end. Remove the right needle from the last loop and tread the yarn through it to secure with a knot. Thread tail yarn end into yarn needle and weave end into several stitches along the cast off edge to secure it.

  And CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve just completed your first knitted scarf ☺
