How to Knit a Scarf for Beginners

how to knit a scarf for beginners

Learning how to knit a scarf can seem hard if you're a total beginner. There are two needles to move around, and yarn that looks like it could snag into knots. It looks intimidating! But the truth is that knitting is like any other skill. It's no different than learning how to ride a bike or how to cook. All it takes is some time and practice. And the upside is that unlike riding a bike or ... keep reading >>

The Everyday Raglan: An Easy Beginner Pattern

Published on October 6, 2015 By Davina | May contain affiliate links (whats this?)

This month is the release of the long-awaited Everyday Raglan pattern! I'm so excited for this pattern, not only because it's the culmination of a lot of hard work, but because raglans are just so darn cool. The first sweater I made was a raglan, and I remember being completely mesmerised by its construction. At first, it made no sense at all. Why am I casting on so few stitches? Why aren't ... keep reading >>

Stashbust and Knit the Braided Headband!

how-to-knit-braided-headband

If you've been knitting for awhile, you've probably amassed a large and eclectic collection of leftover yarn - little balls that didn't quite make it into your project. These little orphaned balls sit, completely ignored, somewhere in the deep corners of your closet or with the dust bunnies under your bed. It's a dark and shameful secret that no one tells you: Knitting basically turns you into ... keep reading >>

If you're anything like me, when it gets cold out, all you want to do is hibernate in your living room, fire up Netflix and cast on for a quick and easy knit.

Chunky Cowl Knitting Pattern

The Honey Stitch Cowl knitting pattern is ready for your hot little hands on the Canadian Living website! I love this cowl because it's so timeless and versatile (if I do say so myself!). It would look equally flattering on a twenty-something as it would on a fifty-something. It adds refinement to a denim work shirt and, thrown over a cashmere sweater, adds bold shapes and textures. I've knit ... keep reading >>

This chunky lace scarf is a great introduction to This chunky lace scarf is a great introduction to lace knitting! 🕸

This beanie takes inspiration from classic watch c This beanie takes inspiration from classic watch caps. Fun fact: these hats got their name from Navy sailors who wore them while keeping watch in the night.

My take doesn’t stray far from the original caps. It’s knit in a beginner-friendly 1×1 rib and has a sleek decrease that keeps the rib pattern intact.

It can be worn cuffed for a fisherman’s look or un-cuffed for a slouchy modern feel.

So knit up a piece of history with this #freepattern at sheepandstitch.com
