Curiouser is the next installment for my upcoming book Through the Knitting Glass! This infinity scarf is knit in the round, with a stockinette section that has a skeleton key silhouette embroidered onto it, and a colorwork section that features six different contrasting hues in a variety of stranded knitting patterns. The whole thing is seamlessly stitched together and can be worn long and casual or doubled up for extra warmth on frigid days.

The best part? Whether you’ve got 10G or 40G of scrap yarn left over from previous projects, there’s a way to incorporate them! Seven different motifs can be combined together with different colors and sequences for a fun and dynamic knitting experience that also uses up all those bits you’re just not sure what to do with. Whether you fancy stripes or tartan, triangles or dashes, this scarf offers endless possibilities for your creativity to shine.
