    you know, i'm a 19 year old boy and i used to knit with my gran when i was really young, like 6 or 7 maybe? well when my dad found out he told me it was a thing only old women do, so i stopped it. i forgot how to knit at all (even though i wasn't great at it back then haha), but now i'm trying to pick it back up in her honour and this tutorial has really helped me get the hang of it fairly quickly! (even if i am painfully slow at the actual knitting!) so thank you!

      I'm not an old woman, I'm an 11 year old girl and I knit. My mum disapproves since she doesn't like how I "knit too much" but still.

      Nah, men have been knitting all throughout history, even had artisan guilds in the middle ages when _women_ weren't allowed to knit. It's a crafting skill and ovaries aren't required to make something useful, plus it gives you something to do while binging Netflix or whatever. You do you, I bet your gran would be proud no matter what

    If you click on the video itself and then click on the three vertical dots in upper right corner you'll find a button half way down the menu that will adjust the video playback speed. You can slow video down to 1/4 of normal speed and up to 3 times faster than normal. Faster speeds come in handy when listening to audio books. By increasing the speed by just one level will get you through material that much faster without sacrificing comprehension. This must be a recent TH-cam feature. I just learned about it this past week. Hope this info helps you guys out there.

    I FINISHED.
    I started November 2021 and took many long pauses from working and only just now, on November 2nd 2022, have I finished. Definitely accidentally added a ton of stitches early on so it’s way too wide and therefore too short but it’s still definitely a scarf and I’m very proud and excited to knit more :)
    Also I’d recommend that once you’re comfortable with knit stitch, you consider alternating some purl in this. Just to make it less monotonous and create a more interesting design.

      @Cookingwith401_101 Oh, I meant like I recommend to anyone making the scarf that they consider switching to purl if the knit stitch is getting a little monotonous for them like it did for me. That wasn’t like me telling her to change the tutorial or me trying to flex in some weird way or anything.
      Although one scarf wonder is absolutely the funniest insult I’ve ever received.

    Thank you so much for preparing this carefully instructed video. That last time I did any knitting was when I was in my late teens. Now, at 75, this craft is like starting from scratch. I must have torn out that first row so many times the yarn was getting overworked. Thankfully the next rows are going much better and definitely more quickly.

    Jennifer, during Covid quarantine, I thought I would give your beginner knit scarf a try. I am sometimes taken back by projects that are described as beginner that don't seem to hold true to the definition of beginner but I have had wonderful success with your crochet tutorials and have confidence that your projects are always true to your description. I am happy to say today I finished my very first knit scarf and I absolutely love how it turned out.. I used a Caron Cake in the color, Blackberry Mousse so there is a deep purple, mauve, burgundy and some brown. I love that my edges are aligned, I can definitely accomplish the Knit Stitch at this point and I was able to follow the binding off. I have a new appreciation and love for such a beloved yarn craft. I am hopeful I'll find additional knitting tutorials on your channel. You are a wonderful teacher and this is the perfect tutorial for an absolute beginner. Thank you so much!

    • @arnoldfossman1701
      @arnoldfossman1701 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I'm a bit late posting this reply to you but I may help others with it. Get a crochet hook and slip it through the loop that you missed to catch the yarn crossing the gap above it. Then pull that yarn through the loop. o that as often as is needed, but take the time to figure out which side to enter the loop from so you have knit or purl pattern as needed.

    I have the *amzaccs* : Bastia and Kelly pockets like you and I agree that the buttons on the Kelly pockets are too noticeable. I like the Bastia and Calvi because they are relatively flat and not “busy”!

    Hey I am an absolute beginner and I made a scarf like yours after get inspiration from your video. The colour scheme of mine is a little different. It's bright purple, royal blue, shocking pink, bright Pink, tea pink and margined with baby pink. It's length is 5th 6 inches and width is 10 inches. It took me 1 month to complete it but it came out amazing. I used 4mm knitting needles and medium sized yarn 🧶. Thanks a lot for inspiration and guidelines . I made it as a gift for my younger sister. She loved it too. I know it's very late but thanks a lot.

Even watching several other TH-cam tutorials I just didn't understand it. This video made it so easy though! The way you explaining it really worked for my brain and I was instantly like "oh *of course* this is really easy". And now I have knitted a scarf for my son in just a couple of days. :D

    My brother used to raise Suri's and Alpacas and saved a lot of their wool, but won't give any of it to me until I "Prove" to him that I can actually knit a quality product! So, I'm using a good homespun "Lion Brand Yarn" to knit a nice warm scarf. I like a challenge. And actually, years ago I knit a cool sweater for my then 18 month young son. It turned out pretty good! Kept him warm in Toronto and Montreal!
