Ren Scarf |

The gift-giving season is at hand, and that means chilly days and empty wallets. Shojo Beat is here with fixes for both problems—a quick knit pattern for the scarf that keeps Nana and Ren warm on a special night in Nana volume 1. Neither of these projects is for someone who has never knit before—the scarf pattern is straight-forward, but beginners might not be familiar with the stranding technique used in the color motif. To learn more about knitting, check out Stitch ’n Bitch by Debbie Stoller or Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Knitting Book by Vogue Knitting Magazine. There are also loads of useful sites on the internet—try www.knitty.com to get started!
