Braided Scarf

Today (and a little bit of yesterday) I knit a braided scarf! It was fairly simple, and the yarn was inexpensive (bought on sale at Michaels)

 the scarf on yours truly

 I used a loose braid

Here you see the seam of the scarf

I used Loops & Threads Charisma in Charcoal, but any yarn will do.
I used US 13 needles, which is what the yarn called for.
And I also used a tapestry needle to weave the loose ends and sew the whole thing together.

Cast on 16 stitches (Any number is fine - I went with even to not worry about which row I was on)
Knit 1, purl 1 (rib pattern) until end of row
Repeat until desired length. * make a little longer than desired scarf length since it will lose some with braiding.

Make three scarves like this. I tacked the ends of each one together so I could braid easier, then I sewed the ends of all three scarves together and flipped it inside out so the seam would be more hidden.


Sorry there aren't any pictures in the process! I encourage any fellow knitters to try this out!
