whenever people find out that I can knit, they always ask me to make this kind of infinity scarf. This year I think I might print out this pattern & give it as a gift in a kit (and you can too) . . .

What You Need:
~ two skeins of worsted weight yarn held together or a bulky yarn (I used caron simply soft here)
~ size 13 24" circular needles
~ stitch marker.



-Cast on 120 stitches using your favorite Cast on method. Join in round, being careful not to twist. Place stitch marker at beginning of round.

1. * K1, p2 repeat from * to end of round
2. Knit to end of round.

Repeat rounds 1 & 2 until piece measures 8" from the beginning. Bind off using the k2tog bind off or loosely using a needle a size or two larger.

That's it !

  1. That infinity scarf is so pretty! You always pick the best colors for things, and this is coming out just in time for Christmas knitting! Thanks for the great pattern. :)

  2. I think handknit infinity scarves are so much better than store-bought ones. What a nice, icy winter blue and love how it's thick and wide to block out the cold.

  3. It's a really cute, simple cowl. I like it! Now, you have to do a tutorial for your hair-do! :) I'm so tired of pony-tails that I'm tempted to chop my hair all off. :P

    1. It’s what I call “pull your hair into a mess and then pin that sucker into place.” : ) Nothing to it really !
