How to Knit Video

I'd been working on a project while visiting my auntie and her mother-in-law, but never learned to cast off before we had to head back home.  So after a little bit of searching, I found this super cute knitting tutorial on pinterest recently.

After watching it a few times, I was finally able to finish my scarf and made some matching fingerless cuffs!


To make the cuffs (the lion brand free pattern):

CUFF (make 2)
Cast on 15 stitches.
Work in Garter stitch (knit every stitch on every row) until piece measures about 8 1/2 in. (22 cm) from beginning.
Bind off, leaving a long yarn tail.
FINISHING
Fold knit piece in half. Thread yarn tail into blunt needle. Sew sides of Cuff together for about 2 in. (5 cm). Leave next 1 in. (2.5 cm) unsewn for thumb opening, then seam remainder of sides.
Weave yarn ends into inside (wrong side) of Cuff.
