Rectangular knit scarf pattern and assembly:
Cast on 25 stitches.
Row 1: sel s, knit all other stitches, sel s.
Repeat Row 1 until piece measures 45 cm (17.7”)
Bind off all stitches. If you want you can use traditional bind off method, but I do recommend you consider a Scandinavian Bind off as it looks extremely nice for the garments knitted in garter stitch.
Scandinavian Bind off: *insert the tip of the right-hand needles purlwise, holding it in front of the work, then insert the tip of the same needle knitwise into the second stitch, wrap the yarn and pull it through. Slip both stitches off the left-hand needle. Return the stitch from the right-hand needle to the left-hand needle. And repeat from * until you bind off all stitches.
Cut the yarn and leave at least 20 -25 cm tail.
For an assembling part I do recommend to watch a video tutorial below starting from the 10th minute.

How many stitches should i cast on & how long should i knit it. The yarn feels like velour with some sparkle. I thought it would be cute for the THANK YOU
You need to know your gauge firstly. For 5-6 years child knit it a little bit narrower for example 20 cm and length about 38-40 cm. knit a small swatch to know how many stitches per 1 cm and make a simple math. Usually my gauge with bluky weight yarn 11-12 sts – 10 cm ( 5 or 6 mm knitting needles). So you do not need to change the pattern. Cast on same 24-25 sts.
