Tiffany Infinity Scarf

Once all this snow melts it will finally start to transition into spring, and eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring is the Tiffany Infinity Scarf! This scarf is knit with Patons Lace yarn in "vintage" (although any lace weight yarn works) and is very light and fluffy-- the perfect companion for a cardigan or tee shirt!



The Pattern:

You will need: lace weight yarn (0.5-1.0 skeins, I used 0.75); size 13 needles

CO (LOOSELY) anywhere from 20-40 stitches

Row 1-7: knit
Row 8: purl
Row 9: knit
Row 10: purl
Row 11: knit

Repeat these 11 rows for the entire length of your scarf. You can alternate stockinette and garter whenever you'd like, I chose to do 7 rows garter and 4 rows of stockinette for the majority of the scarf mixed in with larger and smaller intervals.

At end, BO LOOSELY! Sew both ends together with excess yarn.


Although this could be knit in pure stockinette (as long as you block out the curls), I think the "stripes" that the garter stitch creates adds a nice variability to the scarf. Ravelry page found here.





My scarf turned out to be 5 feet long which sounds like an awful lot, but ends up being quite short. I double wrapped the scarf around my neck and it nicely drapes for 15 inches.


This is the perfect spring or summer time scarf because it is so light weight (you'll forget you're even wearing it!) and the lace allows for plenty of breathing.

Spring Has Definitely Not Sprung

To much of my dismay, I woke up this morning to 7 inches of snow-- some spring break! Ha! Since the streets are covered, I decided today would be a nice day to pick up and continue my latest project, my Tiffany Infinity Scarf. When I planned this scarf I imagined myself wearing it on a nice spring day with a t-shirt, but that fantasy might have to be put on hold for a while with all this fluffy snow outside.


When the scarf is finished (maybe tomorrow?!) I'll post the pattern I created as well as some more polished photos. I also found these great gold, pearl and clear glass beads on sale at JoAnn Fabrics for only $1.50 (and obviously couldn't resist the purchase!) and want to find a way to incorporate them into the whimsy, fluffy look of this scarf. 


Here's my progress, about 3 feet long since I started Wednesday. And, unfortunately, my newest Netflix guilty pleasure Dawson's Creek has also been captured on camera... ;)
