These scarves and cowls, cousins to the Lucky Rock Beachcomber Shawls (also available from Not Just Plain Jane Knits) feature cable and lace motifs. You can do yours in one color, or two versions of multicolor. The choice is yours! No matter which version you choose, you certainly won’t be bored!

Cowls measure 7” X 12” (225 yds); infinity scarves measure 7” X 24” (450 yds) of sock-weight yarn. Whether you choose
solid or multicolor, I think you will find this to be a challenging yet doable project. Directions for the solid color version are on pp. 1; for the multi color version 1 (shown in speckled and neon colors), turn to p. 2; and for the multi color version 2 (blue, coral, green, moss, and gold), turn to p. 3.

Please follow all instructions exactly. Every row is written out for you, and, aside from color choice, please let the pattern guide you. In the case of multicolor, be sure to change all colors on the wrong side of the work, twisting the threads as you would for “normal” intarsia knitting.

For the multicolor infinity scarf, I used approximately 65 yds each of three colors, and 130 yds each of the other two.

Needles required are straight #4 or #5. You will also need a cable needle.

Gauge: 8 sts = 1” on size 4 needle

I also recommend a magnetic board or post-its to help you keep your place.

Refer often to the Glossary and Abbreviations page. Most of the actual knitting operations will be familiar to you, but the terminology may not be. Above all, enjoy the process!
