Knitting scarves can be one of the easiest project for the beginner knitter, once you have your tension right, you can create some lovely scarves. You don't have to stick to just one colour either, but if you don't like the idea of stopping and starting all the time with different colours, why not buy some multicoloured wool? There is a fantastic range and some create a stunning pattern.
The pictures I have included are of two basic garter stitch scarves which I have added a little creativity to by adding tassels on the ends. Both scarves were made using 4 mm needles, 40 stitches wide and took up just under 2 X 100 gram balls of wool each, we used what we saved to make the tassels.

Making the tassels is easy enough, wind the yarn around your fingers, with them spread, about 2 times, cut the yarn then thread the yarn, still looped over, through the end of the scarf about 1 row deep. This is where a crochet hook comes in handy and saves a lot of time, put the crochet hook through the stitch, loop the yarn over it and pull it through. Then take the yarn off the hook and tie a simple but tight knot in it, cut the loops so each strand has an end.
