Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Black
  • Purple
  • Green
  • Orange
• Knitting Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the black yarn, cast on 40 stitches onto your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.
2. Garter Stitch Base: Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 4 rows. This will create a sturdy base for your scarf.
3. Begin Stripe Pattern:
   1. Switch to purple yarn. Knit one row, then purl one row to create the stockinette stitch. Repeat this for a total of 6 rows.
   2. Next, switch to green yarn and continue in stockinette stitch for another 6 rows.
   3. Now, switch to orange yarn and again work in stockinette stitch for 6 rows.
4. Repeat Stripe Pattern: Continue repeating the stripe pattern (purple, green, orange) until your scarf measures approximately 60 inches long. Make sure to keep track of your rows to maintain even stripes.
5. Finish with Garter Stitch: Once you reach the desired length, switch back to black yarn and work in garter stitch for 4 final rows. This will give your scarf a neat edge.
6. Bind Off: To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use your left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this until all stitches are bound off. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches.
7. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in all loose ends securely. This will help prevent any unraveling and give your scarf a polished look.
