Badger Set

ABOUT PATTERN:

The Badger set consists of the Badger Scarf and Badger wrist warmers. Both are worked in garter stitch which means you will only need to know the knit stitch for this pattern. They are made-to-measure, so with a bit of simple math, they can be made to any required size. This pattern does not call for a specific yarn or needle size so it’s great for busting your leftover stash. You can use multiple different yarns as long as they are mostly from the same yarn weight category. Choose a needle size that you find compatible with the yarn(s) of choice.

WORKFLOW:

Both garments, Badger wrist warmers and Badger scarf are worked sideways, casting on stitches according to the length of the garment and knitting in flat, in garter stitch (knit all stitches on both sides), to the desired width.

You will start by casting on the required number of stitches using the crochet cast-on method. This method is very easy and very handy especially for the Badger scarf where you need to cast on quite a few stitches in the beginning.

You will work in flat to the required width and loosely bind off all stitches.

For the Badger wrist warmers, you will then proceed to sewing the cast-on and bind-off edges together using a tapestry needle.
