I needed a project for a planned ‘Knit-in’ for teaching beginners, so I had a go at making a pattern that would take me no more than 2 hours to complete.
I wore the finished demonstration model at the weekend. It matches the new cashmere jumper and provided warmth in the bare V of the neck when watching the birthday fireworks.

This makes a scarf about five inches wide and 60 inches long, depending on the yardage of your chosen yarn.
Instructions: Cast on 16 stitches.
Knit every row until you have about a yard of yarn left.
