The Lacy Infinity Scarf is the perfect easy-to-wear accessory for any season! The simple pattern lets the yarn take center stage and you can use different colors and fibers to get different looks. The openwork shows off colors and textures and gives you a nice airy piece that is a dream to wear. Using anywhere from 200 - 400 yards, you can create a thinner scarf with drape or a thick plush scarf that can be pulled up over the head. Using a loose cast on and bind off, the scarf stretches lengthwise and widthwise giving you lots of wearable options. You will find yourself making several of these in different colors, weights and textures!

Is this pattern right for you? Here's what you need to know:
How to cast on LOOSELY using cable cast-on method or method of your choice.
How to knit in the round using circular needles.
How to knit 2 stitches together.
How to yarn over.
How to weave in ends using a tapestry needle.
*****PROJECT NOTES: CAST ON LOOSELY! I use the cable cast-on method but I do it extremely loose. You can choose to use another method just be sure it's stretchy and loose!
Suggested Circular Needle Length: 16".
Suggested yarns: Worsted Weight 200 yards.(Note: Using a thinner yarn or less stretchy yarn will alter the length of the loop and you might need to cast on more stitches in an even number to get to the length you want. I suggest using a nice springy, stretchy wool blend.)
Gauge: Gauge isn't really crucial because of the open work and stretch of the stitch. If you are concerned about being too tight you can always add stitches in even increments to be sure.
