Hot Knitting Project for Fall- The Infinity Scarf

Happy Monday, I trust you all had a great weekend. Mine was great. Started my week off this morning by watching by 5, almost 6, yr. old granddaughter going to her first day of kindergarten. Happy/Sad Day. I can hardly believe she is going to school! Just had to share.

Infinity Scarf is just another name for a scarf without an end. You say, like a cowl. Pretty much except it is longer and can wrap around your neck, or not. You get to decide. SEW many uses and SEW many materials! Knitting or crocheting is what we do, SEW let me show you some examples. There are many free patterns out there. I will show you just a few examples. Many of them with new techniques (new to me anyway) to close up that loop.

This one is one of the easiest ones, but look how pretty it lays on her neck. You can make it out of lighter weight yarn for the fall, then onto the bulkier yarn for the winter.

This Lavender Magic Scarf is made with fat cables to solve the often occurring problem of the scarf not quite laying the way you want it to. Using a Provisional Cast-On and closing the loop with the kitchener stitch, you will end up with a beautiful scarf.

This one called Cool Breeze Infinity Scarf is a little more delicate and probably more my style. I am not very tall soo the bulky ones are just too much for me. This free pattern even gives you detailed instructions on closing it up with the kitchener stitch.

If you make this little scarf with fine yarn, you can have a great fashion accessory for your favorite jacket. Worked in the round with a pattern of ribbing and eyelets, this one is a real eye-catcher. Think of all the yarns you could use in the colors for fall and winter! 

These are all great gift ideas, and it is not too early to begin those gifts. 

Stop in again. I will be covering other new knitting and sewing trends for fall and winter.

Have a great day! See you soon!
