This is my first knitting project. I learnt knit, purl, knit 2 tog and yarn over while making it. It can seem tough for beginners, but I assure you that you will get the hang of it pretty easily. However, this beautiful scarf requires mindfulness while making it.
Pattern
Do old shale stitch with one color 10 times ( 40 rows ) . Followed by one repetion of old shale stitch(4 rows) in a complementary color. Repeat till desired length is available. Don’t cast off. Pick up stitches from the cast on end. Join the two ends using kitchener stitch to get an invisible join.
