It is finished; knitted garter stitch scarf

When it comes to crafting, I’m happiest when I’m working on a project.

I really love how this wool scarf turned out. It’s squishy soft, thick, and it’s warm!

 

Last evening, I completed the simple garter stitch scarf for my father. My daughter asked if this would be one of his Christmas presents, and I told her no. My father will be getting this immediately!

This scarf is over 6′ long.

 

It’s over 6′ in length and it’s width is a little over 7″. If you’re a beginning knitter, this or an item using the garter stitch would be a perfect first project. I consider this stitch mindless knitting, since I really don’t have to think or look at my needles when I’m doing this or stockinette stitch. As a newbie, it wasn’t as easy. Hang in there (if you are a newbie) it does get better!

I do find the process soothing, and it’s a chance for me to unwind while keeping my hands busy.

It’s gorgeous Opal, I’m sure your father will love it. Garter stitch is great for some mindless knitting.

[…] the items I’ve given to him already were supposed to be some of his Christmas gifts, like the simple garter stitch scarf,  knitted Balaclava hat, or the knitted wristlets in July… but somehow he got them much long […]
