Build A Bear Scarf

I made my first scarf for a Build a Bear Bear today. The pattern and photos are below.

Build a Bear Scarf

Size: 2 1/2" x 27 1/4"
Gauge: 3.5 st and 5r = 1"
Loom: Long Pink Knifty Knitter using the first 8 pegs
Yarn: I used Knit One Crochet Too's A Taste of Glitz.

For cast on do an E-wrap.
Using the standard methods for wrapping and doing a flat piece on the looms :
Row 1: Sl 1 st, K rest of row.
Repeat row 1 till desired length. I did 96 rows.
Cast off using the crochet cast off. Weave in ends.

This came out to be the perfect size for my Build a Bear.

New Things

Reading a fellow blogger and knitter's blog my roommate and I have been inspired to try and do a new thing each week. It would be something we haven't done yet. We'll see how well I do and what happens.

Intro

Happy New Year. As part of the new year and decade I'm starting a blog. That's it. You'll learn more as time goes on.
