GAUGE:

6 stitches = 5" [12.5 cm] in garter stitch (knit every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

For easiest use, wind the yarn into a ball. Remove the band and carefully cut the 4 pieces of string binding the hank. Have a friend place her or his hands in the center of the yarn loop, resting it on the forearms. Widen the arms to make the loop taut. (You may use a chair back if a friend is not available.) Find one of the yarn ends and wind the yarn into a ball.

Cut 12 strands of yarn, 25 inches [63.5 cm] long each, for fringe before beginning scarf.

SCARF

Cast on 6 stitches.

Knit every row until about 1 yard [1 meter] of yarn remains. Bind off and weave in ends.

FINISHING

Attach fringe to both ends of Scarf as follows: Take 1 of the 25 inches [63.5 cm] strands of yarn and fold it in half. Use crochet hook to draw fold through edge of Scarf, forming a loop. Pull ends of fringe through this loop. Pull to tighten. Make a fringe in each stitch along each short side of the Scarf. Trim fringe if necessary.
