Tools You’ll Need for Scarf Knitting Patterns!
Scarves are one of my favorite projects to work on. They don’t need a ton of materials to make and some knitted scarf patterns can be great for meditation. Here are the basic knitting materials you’ll need:
- Knitting Needles – A pair of sturdy knitting needles are the most important tools you need to complete any knitting project. For beginners, we recommend that you start with wooden needles as the wooden texture is better for stopping your yarn from slipping off while you work! Grab a pair of circular knitting needles to make knitting the wider pieces of fabric easy breezy!
- Yarn – Make sure to check the pattern to see what yarn weight to use. Each pattern should list a recommended brand or weight in the “suggested yarn” section of the knitting patterns you’re following!
- Scissors – A pair of scissors is another important tool that you will use for all of your knitting projects. You’ll need them to cut the yarn and trim any leftover yarn tails when you’re done!
- Stitch markers – You might need stitch markers to keep track of where you are if you’re following a stitch pattern. If you don’t have stitch markers, you can use a strand of scrap yarn—preferably in a different color so it’s easy to see.
- Yarn/darning needle – You will need a yarn needle or darning needle to sew in the loose ends.
