HINTS AND TIPSThis scarf is a satisfying quick knit in garter stitch that is a great introduction to colour work with the contrast colour border. Make sure you try to twist the yarn on the wrong side and in the same direction each time you switch colours to get a neat transition. You can also try using shorter needles (e.g. children’s size needles) as this can make it easier to move the balls of yarn when switching colours.
