The super soft loop worked in Merino Extrafine 170 begins with a provisional cast on. You will first make a chain of crochet stitches,then pick up the working stitches for your knitting from the chain. Next, you will be working in rows and the stars are worked with the intarsia technique. After approx. 72 cm/ 28 in., the provisional cast on is pulled and, using a kitchener stitch, you turn the scarf into a loop. Pretty and clever, isn´t it?
