Knitting Tips:
Simple to knit, this scarf is suitable for knitters of all skill levels who have mastered the basic knit and purl stitches. The pattern involves checkers with a narrow garter border to create a clean edge. Once you have established the pattern, you will no longer need to refer to the instructions. This project is great for mindless knitting that you can easily pick up mid-row. Keep in mind that if knitting the scarf version you use 4.5 mm (US 7) needles and 2 skeins of yarn, for the wrap you use 3.75 mm (US 5) needles and 3 skeins of yarn.
