Knit along with Hannah to create a scarf for your teddy-bear or any soft toy in your life! Hannah will take you through the steps for your very first knitting project, from choosing the yarn, deciding which needles to knit with, to finishing with a scarf to be proud of. All the methods are carefully introduced with step-by-step instructions including how to hold the needles and yarn and how to actually put stitches on the needle so you can start knitting. All the questions you wanted to ask are answered right here.
Step one...Choose your yarn and needles with the help of video 2. Show us your choices once you've rummaged through your craft supplies or been to the local wool store.
Step two...Cast on with the help of video 3. I'll guide you through putting stitches on the needle so that you can start your project. Show your success with everyone in the project gallery
Step three...Knit your scarf. Continue to create stitches in rows and follow along with me in video 4. As you make progress let us see how you're getting along and ask me any questions here as you go.
Step four...Finish your scarf by removing the stitches from the needles with Casting Off video 5, then complete your project with video 6 to sew in the loose ends of yarn.
You've finished! Show us your finished scarf and the proud owner with photos in the project gallery.
To knit a scarf for your soft toy you will need:
One 50g ball of Aran/Worsted weight yarn.
A pair of 5mm needles
Scissors, tapestry needle and measuring tape or ruler.
We will not be following a pattern, Hannah will show you how to start knitting, then knit, then finish knitting, so there is no need to have knitted before or to understand all the abbreviations and secret knitting code-words that appear in written patterns!
Please Note if you are making this project for a baby or young child: I recommend you attach the middle of the scarf to the back of the soft toy's neck with a few secure stitches and sew the knot together at the front, for safety.
