Super Chunky Knit Infinity Scarf


I got these lovely balls of yarn from We are Knitters (WAK) at the end of the year when I first opened my Handmade by Phanessa Etsy shop and I just got so caught up and busy with pattern writing, it got put on the back burner. The color Bordeaux is amazingly rich and the yarn is so soft!



I originally started a blanket and then thought "Who am I kidding?" A scarf or something smaller would be better (for me) and faster. I had the idea of using only half of what I got to make the scarf & the other half will be part of my giveaway on Instagram. 



When I first signed up for Instagram strictly dedicated to my handmade items, I never thought I would get where I am now. 1 year later and 17k followers. I hit 1k in August and then it sort of spiraled out of control (in a good way). It has been amazing and I absolutely love doing these giveaways too. 

I wanted to create something simple and beautiful. Personally I'm a circular needle kind of gal but since WAK uses straight needles, I decided to make a chunky scarf using the moss stitch. In the end, I did switch to circular needles because it was much more easier on my wrist and hands.

15mm Knitting Needles
Yarn Needle (large eye)
Scissors

Abbreviations:

Pattern:

Co 18 stitches (if you want your scarf thinner and longer, cast on less stitches)

Repeat rows 1-4 until you have just enough yarn to cast off. Add new ball of yarn at the beginning of a new row (not in the middle of a row). Then, cast off in pattern. With the 2 short ends together, sew the edges with a yarn needle.

Weave in all ends.

  1. This scarf is so beautiful! I'm a new knitter, found your site through ravelry and am really enjoying checking our your work and patterns. How "sheddy" did you find The Wool yarn compared to other brands? I love the way super chunky single-ply looks when it's knit up, but I'm worried about the shedding.

    1. Hi Tina, thanks for stopping by! I Honestly don't know. I gave this away as a giveaway prize on Instagram after making it (@designsbyphanessa) and so I don't know how much it sheds (if it does). It was really nice to work with though!

  2. Just wondering how long you made the scarf before casting off and joining? It's my first infinity scarf and Im using Malabrigo Caracol which is super busy so I wanted a simple yet distinct pattern and I think this looks awesome. Not sure how long it should be though!

    Thanks! Robyn
