I bought very chunky yarn, which is Sirdar Bohemia, and I cannot decide on a pattern mostly because I know very little about knitting. I have found this website to show you what I have tried www.learn2knit.co.uk/knitting/basic-stitches.php
I tried stocking stitch and I like how the scarf looks like but the sides curl. The scarf looks very nice on the side where you purl or how do you call it, which looks like waves. :)
I have tried The garter stitch, however, the scarf does not look nice. I use 15mm needles and not 20mm as recommended in the isntructions. Our John Lewis did not sell 20 mm needles.
Ribbing would not go with this yarn as the scarf will become to narrow and this is what I do not want.
I like this pattern www.knit1la.com/2011/11/save-date-knit-1-la-trunk-show.html but I do not understand how to knit it. I will try to find it on youtube to learn from the video.
Why did I not buy a thick hook as I can crochet?!
