Making a scarf is probably the first thing you want to do once you learn how to knit, so in this video you'll learn how to knit and how to knit your own scarf.

I shove a lot of basic knitting tips and skills in here, but I've put in plenty of links to videos that go over each individual step in detail. And you can always pause and rewind if you want to see a knitting step over again!
