This colorwork infinity scarf features repeating flowers and leaf motifs that dance around this squishy, cozy design. It’s knit in the round with stranded colorwork, then seamed to create a continuous loop. Choose from two versatile versions — a wider, single-wrap or longer, double-wrap. Beginning colorwork knitters will appreciate the repetition of the geometric design, while the angles and movement provide a fun challenge for a more experience knitter.
