I'm knitting an infinity scarf
using Lion Brand Wool Ease Yarn Fair Isle
Fair Isle is a style of knitting originating in the Shetland Islands
that is characterized by bands of multicolored geometric patterns.
This yarn that I'm using creates its own pattern.
Color Thistle/Orchid
Though the yarn is 20% wool and 80% acrylic it is very soft and not itchy.
I'm knitting a pattern called Seersucker and it is a good pattern
for a scarf because it doesn't curl.
The pattern is a multiple of 4 stitches, an 8 row repeat
Row 1 - Knit 1, Purl 1 to end
Row 2 - Knit 1, Purl 1 to end
Row 3 - Purl 1, Knit 3 to end
Row 4 - Purl 3, Knit 1 to end
Row 5 - Knit 1, Purl 1 to end
Row 6 - Knit 1, Purl 1 to end
Row 7 - Knit 2, *Purl 1, Knit 3; repeat from * to last 2 sts, Purl 1, Knit 1
Row 8 - Purl 1, *Knit 1, Purl; repeat from * to last 3 sts, Knit 1, Purl 2
I'm using size 6 knitting needles
and cast on 36 stitches
So far my scarf measures 23 inches
and will be 60 inches when finished
