Wishful knitting

So I have just learned how to knit and already i want to be so much better. I have turning into an old lady that wants way to many tattoos. But anyway I have found knitting to be relaxing and fun but so far I have only been able to make a crappy scarf that I don't know how to end. I don't know the way to tie off the scarf so if anyone can help with that please help haha. I want to get better to make these cute little guys! I found them on pinterest posted by the site spud and chloe she gives away free patterns but I have no idea what they instructions are talking about I am more of a visual person. I will probably never be ale to do these little guys but here's to trying.
