Now with instructions for sport or fingering weight yarn!

Saturnalia is knit in the round on the bias, yielding a 7.5”/19cm wide scarf from a 24”/60cm circular needle. The doubled fabric and fine, springy, lofty yarn provide surprising warmth for the weight, while keeping the wrong side hidden from view. This infinity scarf uses a simple yet unusual technique that gives almost invisible increases without leaving a tighter increase edge. Saturnalia starts with a provisional cast on that is grafted to the end stitches using Kitchener stitch for a completely seamless look. The pattern includes instructions for using a regular cast on and seaming the ends, if the thought of grafting sends you screaming from the room. Saturnalia is designed to go twice around the neck; length is adjustable.

You will need:

2 different stitch markers (one for the beginning of the round and one for the middle); yarn needle; scrap yarn for provisional CO.
