how would I make a border for a simple knit stitch scarf?
I am knitting a scarf (the first one I have ever made) and I want to know how to do a border for it – crochet or knit?
A simple single crochet around the edge will help even the edges and keep the scarf from looking wonky. I think a fringe in the same color, on each end, would look great.
You can do a border in knit, but it is a pain, since you would need to pick up stitches all around the edges, a complicated undertaking.
You might also consider doing a simple blanket stitch for a cute country look.
