This years scarf is an infinity loop that can be knit according to the length you like best. The scarf is created in a variety of textured stitch patterns with a supporting staff of cables.

The scarf is free until Dec 26th, with the coupon code RORY. Be sure to download the clues even if you are not knitting immediately. On the 26th of December, I will make the pattern inactive so that I can amalgamate all the clues and add some pictures. When it returns to my ravelry store it will be for a fee.

When you download the pdf has instructions for the cast on so that you can be ready for the first clue. I’m in the eastern time zone of Canada, and I upload the next day’s clue late the night before.

One colour will show off the stitch patterns best but a gradient would look lovely as well. Lighter colours will show the textural stitches to their full effect.

The cast on number will vary according to the length you love. Some like a single loop to be cozy to their neck, and some like a loop much longer to wrap a few times around the neck.

The pattern repeat is 80 stitches and the gauge of 6 sts to the inch will produce the following.
160 sts= 26 inch loop
240 sts= 40 inch loop
320 sts= 53 inch loop
400 sts= 66 inch loop
You will need a circular needle long enough to hold the number of stitches cast on.

We will be knitting this year’s Advent scarf in my group, Zemy’s Deck Do join us there!
