How it works:
Crank the scarf
- Set the machine to “plain knitting” mode
- Cast on 28 sts with waste yarn and work 6 rows.
Tip: The row counter only counts every second row in straight knitting mode.
- Then switch to the main yarn.
- To do this, cut the thread from the waste yarn at the end of the row and hang it in the machine. Attach the new yarn and let the beginning thread hang in the machine as well (do not knot the threads).
- Set the row counter back to 0.
- Crank 308 rows with the main yarn.
-
Then work another 6 rows in the waste yarn (without knotting the ends).
-
Then bind off the knitted fabric. Crank 2 rows without yarn in the thread guide.

Step 2
Finishing the scarf
In the second step, the scarf is placed on a knitting needle to bind off the edges.
-
Pick up stitches from the last row on needle 4 mm and remove waste yarn (see technique pictures 1+2).
In addition, individual stitches are dropped at the sides and crocheted back up as ribs. This avoids the scarf curling up too much. This technique can optionally be left out for beginners.
-
On each side, drop the 4th stitch over the entire length of the scarf.
-
Then crochet it up again on the back as a rib and lift it back onto the circular needle (see technique pictures 3-5).
-
Repeat the same procedure with the 5th stitch.

Step 3
Bind off the scarf
-
Loosely bind off the edge of the scarf with the 7 mm circular needle by pupassing the stitches over (see technique pictures 1-4).
Now also pick up the starting edge of the scarf on the 4 mm circular needle, remove the waste yarn and loosely bind off the edge with the 7 mm needle.
Tip: Steam the scarf carefully and smooth it out. Then the ribbed edge comes into its own.

Pick up the sts for the edge with the circular needle size 4 mm and remove the waste yarn (see photos step 2, photo 1+2).
- Repeat with the last row.
- Drop the 4th and 5th sts one at a time, then crochet them back up on the back side and place them on the circular needle (see step 2, photos 3-5).

Part 5
Finishing the hood
Steam the hood piece as well, then fold it in half and sew it together on the knit row side in the mattress stitch.
Then sew the hood piece to the scarf in mattress stitch, starting from the centre back.
Tip
Matress Stitch
- Place the edges you want to join side by side in parallel, face up.
- Capture Using a woolen needle or blunt embroidery needle, stitch the cross thread between the edge stitch and the 1st stitch.
-
Pull the thread through. On the opposite side, also pick up the cross thread between the edge stitch and the 1st stitch and pull the thread through.
-
Repeat this alternately on one side and the other.
Once you have joined approximately 2 cm like this, tighten the thread you are working with. The knitted pieces will join together seamlessly.
