Pattern: Fab Faux Knit Scarf
You guys. I designed my first knit pattern! I tried to teach myself how to knit years ago but never got the hang of it. I tucked my needles away and decided to try crochet instead which I immediately fell in love with. Well recently I’ve been working on knit projects and I think I’ve finally got it down!
This pattern is verrrrrry beginner friendly. No increasing. No decreasing. No shaping. No seaming. You literally knit the entire thing. You do need to know how to switch yarns and needles but it is easy peasy! I’m so excited to introduce to you guys the Fab Faux Knit Scarf!

Using stitch markers while you are working with fur yarn is helpful to keep track of your rows.

I recommend not knitting too tightly with the fur yarn.
