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
Not sure what an infinity scarf means, but do like the colors. Janice
ReplyDeleteAn infinity scarf is a circular scarf that loops around the neck without any defined ends.
DeleteIt's also known as a cowl or ring scarf.
It is beautiful!
