This pattern came into being after seeing a chic woman wearing a chic scarf sitting at an outdoor table at a cafe in New York. It is an “infinity” scarf because instead of being just a long rectangle, the ends of the scarf are grafted or seamed to create a long “O” shape which can be looped around the neck.

The scarf has a fun pattern of bright stripes alternating with bold blocks of color. This is a great opportunity to use vivid colors, but would also look great with a sophisticated mix of neutrals.

Difficulty: Beginner
The scarf is worked flat in stockinette stitch as a long rectangle. You can start with a standard cast-on and seam the ends (easier), or you can start with a provisional cast-on and use the Kitchener stitch to graft the ends for a seamless appearance (more challenging).

Yarn selection:
Rowan Kidsilk Haze was used for the sample; this is a lace-weight yarn with a brushed, fuzzy finish that creates a “halo” of the mohair. Similar yarns which may be substituted to achieve the same effect are listed below. A light and airy texture can also be achieved using fingering-weight yarn with large enough needles.

Pattern support: Designer email is included in the pattern in case you run into questions or problems.

The Kidsilk Haze colors used for the sample are Jelly, Blushes, and Peacock.
