The following patterns are all easy for beginners:

THE GARTER STITCH SCARF

This is the perfect first project.  You can use any kind of yarn.  If you use a thick yarn and large needles it will be done in no time.  If you use one of the new novelty yarns with lots of texture it will look like a masterpiece.   The people at your local yarn shop will be happy to help you chose the right yarn and needles and get started.  Usually a scarf is about 6 to 8" wide so cast on as many stitches as it takes to make that width (or however wide you would like your scarf to be). Knit every row, which makes a pattern of ridges known as garter stitch. Both sides (the back and front) will look the same . Cast off when you've made  it as long as you want.
Add fringe if  desired.

 

garter stitch scarf

 


For this scarf I used a small amount of an anny blatt 100% wool from a 50 gr. ball

With # 5 needles cast on 13 sts. (or the amount needed to make 2 ½"  wide)

K every row till 34" (or however long you want)

Bind off loosely

This scarf can be used for a small wrap to keep your neck warm, or for a baby.

TIP: if you make it for a baby it will be smaller and go faster.
