Very nice work but unfortunately I do not know how to knit, I was able to more accurately when it is but I do not remember how to do it!

Thanks for the ideas and patterns! I went from belt to accessory cases with my recent purchase/trade with you. I crochet, too, though.

Thanks for sharing! I don't know anything about Tunisian crochet, but I'd love to learn!

Thanks for mentioning crochet as an option! And since the yarn is on the thicker, heavier side, I'd specifically go with tunisian crochet–leaner stitches, actually used up less yarn than knitting in someone's side-by-side comparison. And it's the least elastic structurally.

Yes, Tara. I used a 1×1 rib on one side and plain knit stitch on the other side rather than following the rib pattern. This made the scarf a lot looser and gave a good hang to it. It turned out absolutely wonderful!!
