I have been knitting for some time now and there are a couple of great books that show you how to do techniques:
Stitch and ***** by Debbie Stroller
How to Knit by Debbie Bliss
Knitting for Baby by Melanie Falick
Happy knitting!I'm beginner at knitting and I need to know how to end the scarf that i'm making. Can anyone help me?
You need to ';cast off'; the knitting at the end of the scarf.
Knit two stitches.
Insert your left needle into the first stitch you knitted onto the right needle.
Pull your left needle up and to the left so that the first stitch is pulled over the second and off the tip of the right needle. One stitch remains on the right needle and one stitch is now cast off.
Knit another stitch. Once again, there are two stitches on your right needle.
Repeat steps 3 to 5 until all stitches are cast off.
Keep the stitches loose and consistent to prevent edge from looking too tightly knitted. Use a needle that is one size larger than the one you used to knit your piece, if necessary.
You can knot fringe to the end of the scarf if that's the look you want, or leave it plain.I'm beginner at knitting and I need to know how to end the scarf that i'm making. Can anyone help me?
Knit the first stitch. Knit the second stitch, then slip the first stitch over the second and off the needle. Be careful not to pull stitches tight. Knit the third stitch, then slip the second over the third and off the needle.
Continue in this manner until you are left with only one stitch.
Cut the yarn leaving a tail of approx. 1 foot (30 cm). Slip this tail end through the last remaining stitch and pull into a tight knot. Sew the remainder into the edge to hide the end of the yarn.
There is a video demonstration at the link below.
heres some sites that might help. from experience, i can tell you its pretty easy and once you do the first few stiches of casting off, you'll get the hang of it. good luck. :)
