hi! i am fairly new to knitting and am sick of only knitting boring scarves! so, i thought i would make something new - a tubular scarf that’s kind of like a turtleneck sweater, but without the sweater part. so, just a knitted tube that i can pull over my head and not have to deal with a bunch of scarf hanging down. anyway, i couldn’t find a pattern, so i am just doing it as i go.
i have used circular needles many times to knit flat, but i have never knitted in the round. i understand the concept of “knitting every row in the round creates stockinette stitch,” but i am kind of confused about doing this ribbing. i am doing k2 p2 ribbing. i started the first row (after casting on) k2, and ended it p2. so, do i then do the same thing every row? start it k2 and end it p2 again, like i would if i were knitting flat? every time i think i have figured it out, i just get confused again five minutes later. plus, since have never knitted a ribbed pattern before (even flat), i can’t tell if i am doing it correctly this early on (i have completed about five rows so far, and it looks pretty messy to me).
any help would be great!
