Actually I've knitted a scarf, in that nice fluffy wool thats all the rage at the moment got it from jtf 65p a ball, anyway I cast on 25 sts and just kept on knitting until I'd used up 2 balls of wool.it turned out very nice.

Trouble is it keeps getting longer and longer, so I'm going to do another one but I'd like one that one end loops through the scarf, bit like a cravat type,
so can any body tell me where abouts I would put and how to make the hole
that one end of the scarf would go through.
Hope this makes sense:confused:

By the way went to JTF yesterday and they've got loads of this wool in all different colours.

Your scarf sounds great! I've been looking for places to buy nice wool where's JTF?

Do you mean one that looks a bit like this (http://www.theyarnco.com/images/knits/popup/angora_scarf_lg.jpg), that has a hole for the other end of the scarf to be pulled through?

There are simple instructions here (http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/na_knitting/article/0,2025,DIY_14141_3520246,00.html) for doing something similar (thought the hole will be horizontal across the width of the scarf, not vertical along the length as the photo shows).

You don't have to work with the number of stitches and yarn that pattern suggests. Just have a look at the cast off/cast on technique it uses and fit it into your scarf where you'd like the hole to be.

This one has the vertical hole, it's knitted in a form of rib but there's no reason that you couldn't knit it in garter stitch. I made a couple of these last year and they came out really well.

JTF is at catcliffe, you need a trade card though.
Thankyou for the patterns they are perfect.
