Happy December! I feel like this year has just flown by and the holidays are right around the corner. Have you started making any gifts yet? I’m usually stitching in the car on the way to my parents house on Christmas Day. Don’t worry, though, my husband is the one driving! LOL
Each fall I begin searching for quick and beautiful items I can make for family, friends and coworkers. And when I can’t find a pattern that I like, I design something new! That is how this infinity scarf came to life. It’s an easy 2 row repeat that can made in a variety of lengths and yarn weights, like most of my patterns.
This beautiful lacy infinity scarf is made with only one skein of worsted weight yarn and makes a quick gift. It can be worn long or looped around the neck for greater warmth. The length is easily adjusted by adding or subtracting multiples of 10 chains in foundation chain. A different yarn weight can also be substituted by using the appropriate hook size and adjusting the length and amount of rows. This stitch pattern was adapted from the Lacey Shells Stitch originally published in the Complete Guide to Crochet Stitches by Mary M Dawson in 1972.
If you need a fast and pretty gift, this is a great option. It only takes a few hours and one skein to complete! Can’t make it right now? Add it to your Ravelry Queue to make it later.
