Infinity Scarf

Infinity scarves are popular this fall so I decided to try and make one to prepare myself for Chicago's cold!

I found many nice crochet patterns but I only know how to knit so that got me nowhere. I went to Hobby Lobby and found a nice soft, grey, sort of chunky yarn. 

Size 13 needles
Yarn - 2 balls any chunky yarn


Cast on 25
Row 1 - Knit all the way across
Row 2 - Purl all the way across
Repeat until finished both balls of yarn are finished
Bind off
Sew the two ends together

** This pattern causes the scarf to roll. If you want it to lay flat you can block it after you finish or try a different stitch.
