This pattern is for a tube scarf, however,
there are general instructions for tubular knitting which you can adapt to
create anything you wish in tube knitting.
Tubular Knitting:
Easy to knit on one row.
Cast on double the number of stitches
required for the finished width.
eg. if you are working at a tension of 8
sts to the inch in stocking stitch (3 ply on a size 11 needle), you would
need 80 sts for a 10 inch width in ordinary stocking stitch; therefore
would case on 160 sts for tubular knitting.
Cast on an
even
number of sts.
1st and every row: * K 1,
bring wool to front, slip 1 purlwise, take wool to back; repeat from * all
across row.
Scarf:
For a light-weight scarf in 2 ply, use No. 9
needles.
Cast on 160 sts.
Work in tubular knitting for 46 ins.
Cast off, knitting 2 tog all across row.
Fringe ends.
