Headband

Yesterday I forgot to post that along with my scarf I made a matching headband out of the purple yarn. Again, I did not use a pattern for this headband, but here are the steps I did to make it:

1. Cast on 14 stitches on size 7 needles
2. Knit until you can wrap the headband around your head.
3. Sew ends together with yarn

I made this headband wider because I personally like larger headbands. One thing that I learned from this project is that I should have stopped knitting a little sooner because this yarn is stretchy so it's a little big. 

First Project

Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that I finished my first knitting project this weekend. For the past week I have been working on a scarf. To make the scarf I didn't use a pattern. But here are the steps to making what I consider a beginner level infinity scarf.

1. Use size 10 needles and cast on 22.
2. Knit Stitch all the way through. (Make sure you knit loose)
3. Use 4 skeins of yarn
4. Cast off and sew together in the end. 

This first project was an experiment and turned out better than I thought it would. When I changed yarn I didn't take into play that the purple yarn is a lot thinner than the pink yarn. I didn't think that it would matter that much but I learned that I did. Comment below if you have any questions or anything you would like to comment on about my first project!
