Lucky Number13
Starter Scarf

The easiest and most effective way to learn to knit is to have a friend show you how; to reinforce your lesson — or to take a stab at learning to knit on your own - make a simple scarf by following these directions. Use the photos as a visual guide as you cast on, execute the simple knit stitch and cast off your finished work.
