Learn the 5 skills

That's everything this scarf needs. Practise each one on a small test piece before you start. Tick them off as you go.

Words you'll see

Stitch One loop on the needle.	st
Row One trip across, from one end of the needle to the other. Then you turn the work around.	—
Front side The side facing you right after you cast on. Clip a safety pin to it so you can always tell.	RS
Ridge One bumpy line across the fabric. Each ridge = 2 rows, so you can count ridges to check the counter.	—
Gauge How many stitches and rows fit in 10 cm with your yarn. It decides all the numbers.	—

If something goes wrong

Too many stitches? Usually the yarn went over the needle by accident. Knit two loops together once to get back to the right number.
Too few? A loop probably fell off. Look down the fabric for a ladder or loose loop and catch it with a safety pin, then ask for help at a yarn shop or knitting café.
Lost count? Count the ridges, multiply by 2, and fix the counter with −1 / +1.

Reminder shown on every row

1 · Your gauge

Knit a garter swatch about 15 cm wide with your yarn, wash and dry it, then count across 10 cm. The pattern's gauge is 22 stitches and 42 rows on 3.5 mm.

2 · Your size

Length tip to tip (cm) Width at centre (cm) Cast-on stitches

Set cast-on to the number in your pattern copy. Your reference scarf is 17 cm at the widest point.

3 · Your numbers

The counter uses these. Shaping rows always land on odd rows (right side), one stitch per shaping row, along one edge.

Steps

Beginner checks

Count ridges, not rows. In garter stitch one bump-ridge is 2 rows. Ridges × 2 should equal the counter.
Tap +1 the moment you turn the work. Not before. If you forget, count ridges and fix the counter.
Check stitches at every shaping row for the first 20 rows. An extra stitch usually means a yarn-over by accident.
Measure the width when the counter hits the middle. If it's off by more than 1 cm, change the centre width in Plan before you start decreasing.
Weigh the yarn at the middle. The second half uses the same amount. If more than half is gone, stop increasing now.
