The last time I went to my knitting group, I found that I could chat or I could knit, but since I was working on a pattern that involved counting, I couldn’t do both at once. Tell me I’m not the only one!

I got to thinking how nice it would be to have a pattern that is interesting to knit and pretty to wear but doesn’t involve counting, so I came up with the Knit and Chat Infinity Scarf and Cowl. It’s knit in the round, and each round just involves doing one stitch or stitch combination, so there’s no need to count after you cast on. It’s appropriate for an advanced beginner.

The pattern uses Alpaca Lace Cloud and a soft sock-weight yarn like my own So Silky Sock or Dream Sock. Most of the time, the two yarn bases are held together, but for some rounds you just use one or the other.
