This fun and easy pattern makes a really beautiful infinity scarf, very cozy and nicely textured.

Scarf is knitted with three strands which makes this scarf a fast knit. You can adjust the pattern to another yarn, change the size or length of the finished object, and play with the color choices!

The stitch I used for this scarf is sometimes called double moss, double seed, british moss, 2x2 checkerboard, etc. I prefer to call it “chunky checkerboard” :) If you want your scarf to look more chunky and cozy, I suggest not to block it in order to save that amazing fluffy structure. On the other hand, blocking can reveal the real checkerboard texture. I would consider knitting a 4”x4” sample and looking at it both blocked and unblocked so that you can decide which one works better for you.

This pattern is offered for free. If you feel like saying “thank you” to the designer and have the means, consider buying me a coffee here.
