[Nfb-krafters-korner] Request for a knitted or crocheted scarfpattern

[Ramona Walhof]

Charlene, try using about no. 7 needles with about 20 stitches.  Knit 5 rows 
of garter stitch; then pearl a row, knit arow, and pearl a row.  repeat 
until the scarf is as long as you want.  A very simple pattern, but some 
texturing. It shouldn't roll up on the sides.   Make up anything you like. 
You may be able to think of something much more interesting than that.  I 
made a baby afghan for my grandson with about ten different textures in 
stripes.  With 8 ounces, you can make it wider if you wish and still have 
plenty of length.
