Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in cream
• Needles: US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by using the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 18 stitches onto your knitting needle. Make sure your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the elasticity of your scarf.
2. Establish the Ribbing Pattern:
   • Row 1: *Knit 1 (K1), Purl 1 (P1); repeat from * to the end of the row. This creates the ribbed texture.
3. Continue Knitting: Repeat Row 1 until your scarf measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to check your work periodically to ensure the ribbing pattern remains consistent throughout.
4. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely in pattern. To do this, knit the first stitch, then knit the second stitch. Use the first stitch to bind off the second stitch by pulling it over the first stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
5. Seam the Edges: To form an infinity loop, align the cast-on edge with the bind-off edge. Use a mattress stitch to seam the two edges together. This method creates a nearly invisible seam. To do this, insert your needle into the first stitch of the cast-on edge, then into the first stitch of the bind-off edge. Continue this process, alternating between the two edges until fully seamed.
6. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends securely. This will give your scarf a clean finish and ensure that no yarn ends are visible.

Now you have a beautiful, chunky cream infinity scarf to keep you warm and stylish! Enjoy your new creation and the compliments that will surely follow.
