OH DARN IT - MAKING A SCARF PART 3

What you need:

• yarn needles
• scissors

After you finished your scarf, you may have noticed random strands left hanging as a result of where you joined a new ball of yarn. To get rid of them you have to weave in the ends (Ham 51). The process of darning in loose ends is very simple.

1. Thread your yarn through the needle.
2. There's a lot of different ways to weave in the ends. Through many attempts, I've found that following the sts in a line is the easiest. 
3. From where your strand starts, find the closest st and follow it. Bring your needle under and up as if you're sewing. 
4. After weaving the strand in and out a few times, it should be secure.
5. Cut the excess yarn off and you're done! "Trim the ends close to the scarf, being careful not to cut the scarf" (White 34).

After darning in the extra strands, you are officially done with your scarf!

I was really proud of myself for completing the scarf, what are some things that make you proud?
