Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by using the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 220 stitches. Ensure that the stitches are not twisted when you join in the round.
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join your work in the round, making sure the stitches are aligned properly. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
3. Establish the Ribbing: For Rounds 1-4, repeat the following pattern:
   • *K2, P2; repeat from * to end of round.
4. Create the Wave Pattern: For Round 5, repeat the following:
   • *K1, yo (yarn over), k2tog (knit two together), P2; repeat from * to end of round.
5. Continue with Ribbing: For Round 6, repeat the ribbing pattern:
   • *K2, P2; repeat from * to end of round.
6. Repeat Rounds: Continue to repeat Rounds 5-6 until the scarf measures approximately 10 inches in width or your desired width.
7. Final Ribbing: For Rounds 7-10, repeat the ribbing pattern:
   • *K2, P2; repeat from * to end of round.
8. Bind Off: Bind off loosely in pattern to maintain the elasticity of the scarf. Make sure it is not too tight.
9. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle. Gently block the scarf to measurements to enhance its shape and texture.

The finished infinity scarf will be a continuous loop, approximately 60 inches in circumference and 10 inches wide. It features a wave-like texture created by alternating sections of stockinette and lace stitches, giving it a delicate yet cozy appearance.
