Cats Paw Scarf ©2014 Kris Basta Materials and tools: Sock yarn, 300 yds #9 needle (I use a circular needle because it is better to hold the large number of stitches) but you can use 2 straight needles if that is your preference. Gauge: Not super important, but I got 4.25 sts per inch in stockinette stitch. Abbreviations: K = knit Rep = repeat yo = yarn over
Beg = beginning sts = stitches P= purl K2tog = knit 2 together CO = cast on K2togtbl = knit 2 together through the back loop
References: Cast on at beginning of the row, otherwise known as knitted cast-on. Tutorial video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdaZTBOJ7XU
