My December giveaway was the most popular one I have done so far. I'm sure part of it is because my readership is growing. However, part is due to the fact that the infinity scarf I gave away is a stunning and versatile accessory. I actually have a similar one in my own wardrobe and I love to wear it when the temperatures drop because it's soft and cozy and it matches a lot of my shirts and sweaters. You may not know to look at it, but this is an extremely easy scarf to knit. This pattern is perfect for beginner knitters or those of us who just need to keep our hands busy while we're watching TV.
The stitch pattern is a variation of ribbing. The beautiful colorwork (reds, golds, greens, and purples) is all thanks to the yarn, Lion Brand Amazing yarn in Wildflowers.

I told you the pattern was short and easy.
The nice thing about a long infinity scarf, like this one, is that it can be worn in different ways. Of course, you can just drape it around your neck, like the photo at the top of this post.
You can wrap it around your neck twice and wear it like a cozy cowl.

Or, wrap it once around your neck and once around your head to keep your ears warm and wear it like a hood.
