Question:

how can i make my scarf thicker while knitting?

my sister got into a new hobby about knitting scarfs, but we live in ohio so we are wanting some thicker scarfsshe said she had a quot;worsequot; yarn (i dont know what it is or how ever you spell it right) and she has the 10, 11 and 13 size needlesshe just wanting to know the different styles, techniqes of making a thicker scarf.

Answer:

You mean worsted weight yarn, also known as medium or 4For thicker fabric, use thicker yarnIt also comes in chunky, bulky, and super bulkyYou can also double yarn by holding two strands together and knitting with them as if they were one strandSome stitches make thicker fabric than othersFor example, ribbing makes a thicker fabric than stockinetteYou can knit the scarves as tubes, effectively making them twice as thickOr you can double knit them which also makes them twice as thickDouble knitting is an advanced technique where you knit with two yarns of different colors at the same time, using one color for the front side of the scarf and the other for the back side so that the pattern you put on the front comes out in the reverse (a negative image) on the back.
cuz clay pot would melt
Clay pots and glass pans both have the disadvantage that they break if dropped and are heavy - metal is much more casualAlso, some cooking styles call for heating the pan and dropping the food on the hot surface and as the potter has pointed out, that doesn't work well with clay.
conducts heat quicker, more even heating surface, can withstand higher temps.
