Reviewing the Basics
Meet knitwear designer and author Vicki Square and learn more about the trendy, cozy infinity scarf or cowl you’ll knit in the round. New to knitting or need a refresher? Vicki reviews the basic moves of casting on, knitting, purling and binding off in both the English and Continental styles.
Supplies & Swatching
Vicki discusses the knitting tools you’ll need for your project and shows how to create and measure a gauge swatch, so you can be sure that your scarf comes out just the way you want.
Channel Island Cast-On
Master the decorative Channel Island cast-on, which creates picots along the edge of your work. Vicki shows how to join your work in the round without twisting your stitches and guides you through creating your scarf’s garter stitch border.
Stitch Chart Basics
Get a handle on reading a simple chart that makes knitting the embossed leaf pattern a breeze. Vicki walks you through the shifting combination of knits and purls and shows how to read your knitting and troubleshoot common problems.
Stitch Charts Continued
Vicki ramps up your chart-reading and knitting skills with the more complex diamond pattern that makes up the center of the scarf. If you prefer written instructions, those are included, too! Learn strategies for keeping track of where you are in the pattern and use seed stitch to create your diamonds.
Channel Island Bind-Off
What if there’s a mistake in your knitting? No worries! Vicki shows you how to ladder back to fix the mistake with a crochet hook. Then master the Channel Island bind-off, which mirrors the picots of your cast-on, and learn how to turn mistaken knit stitches into purls — even after binding off!
Finishing & Blocking
Finish your scarf with Vicki’s techniques for achieving an even edge, weaving in your yarn tails and blocking to smooth out your stitches. Finally, get design inspiration for altering the pattern to make more projects that are uniquely your own!
