Beginner's Hat and Scarf
Lion Brand® Jiffy® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE: 8 sts + 13 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in Hat pattern. 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION: | SKP Slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over. |

| Beginner's Hat and Scarf Reviewed by Edith Frost on 2008-08-20 |

| This was my very first knitting project. Great practice on knitting vs. purling. For the scarf, I got confused a couple of times about where I was in the pattern, which side was which. And I didn't bother to figure it out, so the design seems to turn itself inside out every foot or so! It's such a burly-looking pattern that it doesn't really matter. But if I do it again I'm going to pay a little more attention. ;-) I would also use more than 1 ball of yarn for that scarf -- I'd like it better if it were about 1-1/2 times as long as it is. But all in all, it's a great pattern, fun to make for this first-time knitter.
