The Never Ending Scarf.....


When I was younger, one of my favorite movies was The Never Ending Story. Rowan’s Romance reminded me of that film and I knew it was the perfect yarn to knit myself an infinity scarf. This scarf is a simple knit that is great for mindless knitting at the end of the day. The instructions require no memorization and can be altered to fit a variety of yarns, textures and gauges. And I promise it is not a never ending knit!


Materials:

Size 15 Needles

3 Balls of Rowan Romance approx. 180 Yards. (Supplement with any super bulky yarn. When using a different weight of yarn, cast on more stitches to account for smaller gauge).

2 yards of scrap yarn (for the provisional cast-on)

Crochet hook (any size for provisional cast-on)

Instructions:

Using a provisional cast-on, chain 30 stitches with crochet hook. Pick up and knit 25 stitches with knitting needles. There should be left over stitches on the provisional cast-on, it is easier to rip out at the end.


Row 1: Slip1 at the beginning of the row; K1P1* repeat till the end of the row.


Row 2: Slip1 at the beginning of the row; P1K1* repeat till the end of the row.


Knit until scarf is desired length. Remember, the scarf should not be the same length as an actual scarf if you want it snug against your neck. Mine is about 3.5 feet long.


Taking the needle currently not in use, pick out the provisional cast-on as you pick up the now live stitches. There should be 25 stitches on each needle.


Make sure scarf is not twisted before starting the kitchener stitch bind-off.


Sew in ends and enjoy!

  3. I found your blog because I was looking for a stamping plate with knitting stitches on it. It's awesome finding someone who knits AND is into nail polish. I have a knitting blog, if you're interested, at http://niksknits.blogspot.com. Take Care.
