Lucky for you, you’ve come to the right place. We’re about to embark on a journey through some seriously easy scarf knitting patterns that are tailor-made for beginner knitters just like you.

Continue knitting in the round with MC for 20 rows. Repeat from * to ** until the scarf is the desired length. Knit 20 rows in MC. Bind off, weave in ends and sew the ends of the scarf closed.

Exact gauge is not important for this pattern, just knit a little tighter than normal. Do not cut the yarn between color changes, just carry it loosely up one side of the scarf. CO 31st in black.

They hope to have the scarf finished by the week of 14 July ... "They are aged four and five and we'll use their knitting to make patterns on the panels or get someone to stitch them together." ...
