Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Deep Navy
  • Royal Purple
  • Silver
• Needles: US 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Stitch Marker: To mark the beginning of the round
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by using the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 100 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure that the stitches are not twisted when you join in the round.
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join your work in the round by bringing the last stitch over the first stitch. Place a stitch marker on your needle to indicate the beginning of the round.
3. Round 1: Knit all stitches around. This will create a smooth base for your scarf.
4. Round 2: Purl all stitches around. This will start to create the texture of your scarf.
5. Round 3: Begin the ribbing pattern: *Knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the round.
6. Round 4: Continue with the ribbing pattern: *Purl 2 stitches, then knit 2 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the round.
7. Repeat Rounds 1-4: Continue repeating these four rounds until your scarf measures approximately 12 inches in width. This will give your scarf a beautiful texture and thickness.
8. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired width, bind off your stitches loosely in pattern to maintain the elasticity of the scarf.
9. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in all loose ends securely to finish your scarf.
