Infinity Scarves How-To, Scarves in General.

Scarves.

So necessary, a staple of fall.
So the only thing I’ve learned how to knit.
So annoying when you aren’t quite sure how to wrap it around your neck.

I’ve devised a solution. I mean, other people have too. But I would have thought of it if they hadn’t, so it’s sort of like I invented it: The Infinity Scarf.

The answer to all scarf woes. It’s just a scarf that’s attached to itself making a knit donut. Seamless, easy wearability. First, let me show you all the scarves, I’ve made 8 total. 2 man scarves (one of these two is sort of effeminate), 5 lady scarves.

I’m gloating. Yes. Feast your eyes on my talent.

Now for the How-to:

I’ve picked my softest, most glorious scarf.

I consulted a professional about this, Jill, my friend, makes scarves far more frequently than I. Since I’m a novice. I asked about what I’d need to make an infinity scarf. I was instructed to get some sort of large crochet needle that will “thread” the yarn in order to simulate “sewing” the two ends together. I didn’t want to buy another tool, so, I used one Bobby pin instead, which seemed to work fine. Just make sure your yarn hangs tight.

So you see, you take both ends, and you sew them together as you would anything else. This actually isn’t all that complicated.

All this visual reinforcement probably isn’t tremendously useful. Although it is if you don’t know how to sew.

In one way and out the other.

Until it’s done. And when it is, you make a few more loops in the same place to make sure the yarn is pulled taut. That’s how it gets secure.

Then you have this. An unbreakable bond if coziness. This scarf is actually huge. The width is as long as my forearm.

    I love these! I make my own all the time! I’ve actually started making the custom for people and selling them for about $15 a piece. I’m 13 years old and I’m short on cash, so this $15 pays for my yarn and I also get some profit out of it! Did you use a loom or needles for this? I always use a loom.

      Hey! Nice! Plus it kind of works out for when you need to give your friends gifts and then you give them scarves!
