Mannheim Loop
This is a free pattern by Sandra Hansen, you are allowed to knit items for personal use or for sale for charity. This loop scarf was developed within a KAL for a charity organisation in Mannheim (a German city near Heidelberg) that supports homeless youths. I bought the yarn to make their lives a little more colourful. The loop is reversible. Techniques used are knit and purl and cables. This project should be suited for the advanced beginners.
