How to Knit A Scarf:

The first step in scarf knitting patterns is to cast on the stitches.

Casting First Loop:

First cast on stitch – The foundation row has the cast on stitches. For casting on, first make a slip-knot – loop the yarn and put it onto one of the needles and pull the yarn to make it tight.

How to Cast other Stitches with one Needle:

For casting on the remaining number of stitches, take the working on from the slip-knot and form a loop. Just be sure that you don’t take the yarn of the tail. After you form the loop, pass it onto the needle and pull the yarn taut.

How to Cast on Stitches with Two Needles:

For casting on, you can also you by holding one needle with the stitches in the left hand and the other on the right hand. Then pass the working yarn from the yarn ball over your left index finger. You can use your other fingers to catch the working yarn in your left palm. Insert the needle in the right hand upward through the topmost loop of the left needle. Drape the yarn over the right needle and pull the loop through from the front and put it on the left needle. Remove the right needle and pull the yarn tight. repeat this step till you cast on the required number of stitches.

How to Knit:

For the Knit Stitch, the needle with the cast on stitches should be in the left hand. Now wrap the yarn from the ball i. e. working yarn, around the left index finger and hold it at the back of the needle on the left hand. Put the point of the needle in the right hand from the front to the back into the first cast-on, opening the stitch a little. Take the working yarn with the right-hand needle and pull through the opened stitch. The cast-on stitch on the left-hand needle should be slipped off and hold the middle finger near the second cast-on so that it does not slip off. The newly formed knit stitch is on the right hand needle. Continue till all the stitches on the left needle are emptied. Now pass the needle with the stitches, from the right hand to the left hand.
