a brioche knit infinity scarf
My sister asked for two infinity scarves for Christmas this year. She swears that it gets chilly in Mexico. I don't believe her. Nevertheless, it's what she wanted. She will be moving stateside this year, so maybe she can use them by next winter if, in fact, she isn't telling me the truth.
Here is the first one. I used this pattern, free of course on Ravelry. I love how it turned out! Despite the worsted weight yarn, the brioche stitch makes the scarf light and airy while giving the look of reversible ribbing.
The brioche stitch pattern was actually very simple to memorize. The part I could not figure out was how to graft the two ends together to make a seamless inifinity scarf. After searching the web for a while and reading how no one else can really figure it out either, I connected the two ends with simple seam. It's definitely not the prettiest seam I've ever done, but I will just tell her to keep the seam in the back.
The scarf is a total of 52 inches long but since it's circular, it reaches my waist at 26 inches.
See my ravelry notes.
