I cant remember the color of my first scarf but I know it was worsted weight acrylic on size 8 needles. It was probably all garter stitch.

Thanks for the pattern, it looks fun. I cant remember the 1st scarf I ever made, must have been 65 years go! Probably garter stitch all the way.

It was pretty bad. I was in grade one or two and it was made in school colors black and red. The stitches were uneven, dropped or added, but I was pretty proud of myself anyway.

The first scarf I remember knitting was shocking pink (then very popular color) with very little patterning. I haven't even seen it in 50 years, so don't remember the details!

My first scarf was too skinny, too short, uneven had too much fringe I loved it!!
