Modifications (various):

2. Used sparkly yarn for some of the hats and scarves (since the yarn was thinner, had to increase number of stitches)

The striped scarves are done as follows:
Start with 2 rows garter stitch in C

Row 5 - knit across in C
Row 6 - purl across (in C)
Repeat rows 3 - 6 until it's the length you need.
End with two rows C in garter stitch and bind off.

4. The polka dot hat is as follows:
Knit the ribbing as the pattern directs.
Knit 2 rows stockinette in the solid color.
