Today's free pattern is a very easy circular scarf - it's knitted using a "double knitting" technique which simply means you use two strands of yarn at one. You can either buy two balls of the same (or different yarns, that can create a very interesting effect) or you can buy a ball of yarn like the Carnival brand acrylic yarns where you can knit from both ends of the ball at the same time.
You will need:
- 7mm knitting needles
- Yarn needle
- One 100g ball 8 ply yarn, double knitting style (knitting with both ends of the same ball of yarn)– or two 50g balls 8 ply yarn
