NECK SCARF
This is a fun, easy rib hat pattern knitted in a two
coloured yarn. This cap can be for a adult man or
a woman depending what colors you choose to
use. This pattern is worked in a stocking stitch, it
is very simple and a great beginners project. It is
also an excellent way to begin using yarns for
adults. You will find that the yarn will do all the
work for you, if correct combination of colour is
selected to knit the cap.
If the yarn (wool) is not available, you can
substitute with the common wool that you can
purchase in shops.

ATTACHMENTS
TENSION
Before beginning any garment, work a small
stitch sample about 4 ins [10.2 cm] in the main
pattern and on the needles stated. Place the
knitted sample on a flat surface and mark out 1 in
[2.54 cm] (or 2 ins [5.1 cm] if stated) with pins.
Count the number of stitches between the pins
carefully and if your tension is correct then you
may proceed with the garment. If you have fewer
stitches to the inch than stated, your tension is too
loose and you should work another sample, using
a size smaller needle. If you have more stitches to
the inch, then your tension is too tight and you
should work another sample, using a larger size
needle. Continue in this way, altering the size of
your needle until you obtain the correct tension.
BASIC
FABRIC
1. Garter Stitch
This fabric is formed by knitting every row.
Reverse Stocking Stitch
Worked exactly the same as Stocking Stitch. The
purl row is the right side of work.
3. Moss Stitch
Moss stitch is normally worked over an uneven
number of stitches, thus; Moss Stitch row: K1,
(p1, k1) to end. This row is repeated throughout.
4. Ribbing
The closest form of ribbing is k1, p1 rib, normally
worked over an even number of stitches, thus:
Rib row. (K1, p1) to end. The row is repeated
throughout. There are many variations in ribbing
built up from the basic k1, p1 rib, such as:
K2, p2 rib – cast on a multiple of 4 stitches.
Rib row. (K,2 p2) to end. This row is repeated
throughout.
Or K3, p3 rib – cast on a multiple of 6 stitches.
Rib row. (K3, p3) to end. This row is repeated
throughout.
2. Stocking stitch
This fabric is formed by knitting one row and
then purling one row alternately. The knit row is
the right side of work.

•
Never rush you work – relax and enjoy it.
Always have smooth, clean hands.
Buy full quantity of yarn require completing
the garment or project you are working on.
Check tension from time to time during the
making.
Keep you needles and yarn clean.
Join in new yarn only at the end of a row.
Do not leave your knitting in the middle of a
row.
Never push your needles through the ball of
yarn.
Wash knitted garments frequently and
carefully.
Always use the yarn specified in the
instructions.
Never alter the size of your needle in an
attempt to produce a larger or smaller
garment.
If knitting has been left for a time, unpick a few
rows before beginning again.
No two people knit alike –don’t allow anyone
to help you with few rows.
Always measure knitting on the flat.
Make sure you cast off at the same tension as
you have worked your garment or project.
If you have difficulty in understanding a
pattern and have reached the point of
exasperation, don’t persevere. Lay your work
aside and come back to it later on when you
will no doubt see your error clearly.
