Vespers
Vespers are the prayers said at evening, from the Latin word for evening, which are meditative and repetitive. This design can also be described that way. The “cheater” brioche stitch used in the pattern is easy to memorize, and can be done at a relaxed pace without too much concentration; providing all the squish of garter stitch, with a little more interest. It is perfect for comfort or prayer knitting. This infinity scarf can be worn long, doubled around the neck, wrapped over the ears for extra warmth (or as a head covering for Vespers), or even as a shrug of sorts.
