Knit Beginner Project Susan Childress

This hat and scarf combination gives graduates of our Knitting for
Beginners class the opportunity to practice and polish their basic skills.
Youll learn to use circular and double pointed needles while making
the hat. The hat will also be your introduction to multi gauge patterns,
which allow you to make the same design in many different kinds of yarn.
The scarf combines the cables, lace, and other stitches you learned in
Knitting for Beginners so that you can keep learning to read your stitches
and have something beautiful to wear.
