This is an incredibly simple beginners pattern encompassing only the Garter stitch, the first stitch any knitter learns, and a simple slip stitch. For this project I wanted to amend my basic knitted scarf pattern to create a straight edge with a chain similar to some of my crochet scarfs. In the process of finding the perfect edge for this project I tried and tested dozens of methods, slipping, purling, simply keeping the yarn tight but it is the method below which seemed to fit perfectly. The scarf is also extra wide so creates a blanket feel to keep you warm and cosy.
