It’s time to follow up with the infinity or loop scarf topic. A wrapped around your neck knitted infinity scarf will keep you warm during cold winter times. As an alternative to sewing a loop scarf from a warm wool fabric you can knit yourself one.

For this knitted scarf a basketweave knitting pattern was used. Basketweave pattern is an easy stitch pattern that combines knits and purls into a fabric that looks woven and really pretty.

Materials

– 6 mm Knitting Needles

– 2 Skeins of red wool yarn (5 0z. each)

Size

The infinity scarf is 40 in/ 100 cm long and 10 in/25cm wide

Abbreviations

K – Knit
P – Purl
CO – cast on
K2tog – knit two stitches together
YO – yarn over
SSK – slip, slip, knit

Notes to the chart:

– chart is worked from right to left and bottom to top

– 1st and last stitch form the edge of the knitting and therefore are not shown on the scheme.

Update: I have interchanged the written instructions to the chart pattern. I think this will be more understandable.



Moreover, one should keep in mind that there’s more than one way to wear an infinity loop scarf.

Single loop
