Scarf Section 9 Craft…. Class No. 49

One skein super-bulky yarn, around 100 yards Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick
Size 13 needles
Crochet hook
This makes a scarf about 5 inches wide and 60 inches long.

Instructions:
Cast on 12 stitches.
Knit every row until your scarf is 60 inches long.
Bind off.
Use your crochet hook to weave in the ends at the top and bottom.

This is a wonderful all-purpose scarf pattern. You can make it with any kind of yarn or with a couple of different kinds of yarn held together. If you want to use a different weight of yarn, check on the label to see what sized needles are recommended and use them instead of the size 13s. You might need more stitches if you are using lighter weight yarn in order to get a nice width.
