Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in pink and lavender
• Needles: US size 8 (5 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches using the lavender yarn. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.
2. Garter Stitch Border: Knit 5 rows in garter stitch. To do this, simply knit every stitch on every row. This will create a lovely border for your scarf.
3. Change Yarn: After completing the 5 rows in lavender, change to the pink yarn. Make sure to leave a tail of about 6 inches for weaving in later.
4. Textured Pattern:
   • Row 1: *Knit 2 stitches, Purl 2 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
   • Row 2: *Purl 2 stitches, Knit 2 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.

   Continue repeating these 2 rows until the scarf measures 60 inches in length. This textured pattern will create a beautiful visual effect as you knit.

5. Change Back to Lavender: Once you reach 60 inches, switch back to the lavender yarn. Leave a tail of about 6 inches again.
6. Final Garter Stitch Border: Knit 5 more rows in garter stitch, just like you did at the beginning. This will complete the scarf nicely.
7. Bind Off: To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Knit one more stitch, and repeat the lifting process until all stitches are bound off. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches, and pull it through the last stitch to secure it.
8. Create Fringe: Cut lengths of yarn measuring 10 inches from both the pink and lavender yarn. Fold each piece in half and tie them at the ends of the scarf. Space them evenly for a balanced look.
9. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends from where you changed yarns and bound off. This will give your scarf a clean finish.

Now you have a beautiful gradient textured scarf to keep you warm and stylish! Enjoy your knitting journey!
