Triple-Layer Infinity Circle Scarf Pattern




About the Triple-Layer Infinity Circle Scarf:
Circle scarves (aka infinity scarves) are becoming an evermore popular fashion piece. Not only do they look great, but they keep you warm & cozy as well! I designed this scarf to be super warm by measuring it out so it'd be long enough to wrap around the neck 3 times. Keep the cold wind away from your neck with this super warm scarf.


Materials I used:
- Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn (color: Syracuse Orange); 2 skeins (~150 yards)
- 36'' circular needles US size 15

Money saving tip: If you decide to purchase your materials online, don't forget to shop through a cash back link. I most commonly shop through my Discover credit card cash back program or ebates. Ebates offers up to 4% cash back (depending on which category you shop from). You can sign up for ebates here; it's super easy and quick.

The Triple-Layer Infinity Circle Scarf Pattern:
Using 36'' US 15 circular needles, cast on 150 stitches

Round 1 : *K1, P1*
Round 2 : *P1, K1*

Repeat the pattern until desired size or until you finish the yarn from 2 skeins.
Bind off.
Yes, it's that easy!  It took me a few hours over 3 or 4 days to complete this circle scarf.

Customize the scarf to fit your own style by:
  • Making it more/less wide.  If you cast on an odd number of stitches, the pattern will be: row 1: *K1, P1* and just repeat until desired size.
  • Use a different pattern
  • Cast on less stitches so it only wraps around twice.

Have fun and be sure to send me pictures if you make something similar to mine!


Abbreviations used in this pattern:
K1= knit one stitch
P1 = purl one stitch

This is how long it is when not wrapped around multiple times:

 Wrapped around loosely twice:

For a cozier fit, wrap around 3 times for a triple-layer of warmth:
