Cozy Textured Infinity Scarf
Materials:
- Yarn: Worsted weight yarn (4) in a variegated fall color palette (approx. 200 yards)
- Needles: Size 9 (5.5 mm) circular knitting needles (with 24" cable)
- Gauge: 17 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in pattern
- Stitch marker
- Yarn needle for weaving ends
Gauge: To measure your gauge, knit a swatch of 20 stitches and 20 rows in the chosen pattern. Measure 4 inches square to ensure you have the correct number of stitches.
Abbreviations:
- CO: Cast On
- K: Knit
- P: Purl
- St: Stitch
- RS: Right Side
- WS: Wrong Side
- YO: Yarn Over
- K2tog: Knit 2 stitches together
Instructions:
1. Cast On: CO 120 stitches onto the circular needle using a long tail cast on method. Make sure your stitches are not twisted and place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
2. Pattern Setup: Round 1 (RS): K1, *P1, K1; repeat from * to end of round.
3. Texture Stitch: Round 2: K1, *YO, K2tog; repeat from * to end of round.
4. Repeat rounds 1 and 2 until the scarf measures approximately 8 inches in height (or desired length). You will notice a lovely textured pattern forming.
5. Finishing Section: After reaching the desired length, work 1 more round of the pattern setup (Round 1) to finish off the texture.
6. Bind Off: Bind off in pattern (K over P and P over K) loosely to ensure the edge remains stretchy.
7. Weaving Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in the yarn ends securely on the WS of the scarf.
Optional Variations: For a wider scarf, increase your cast on to 140 stitches. You can also play with color changes by using multiple yarn types or changing yarns every few rounds.
Finishing Tips: To stabilize your scarf’s shape, block it lightly. Soak in cool water and lay flat on a towel to dry. The scarf will retain its structure while showing off the beautiful textures.
