Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, 200 yards (recommended color: soft icy blue)
• Needles: US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 21 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight; a loose cast-on will help your scarf maintain its elasticity.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): *Knit 1 (K1), Purl 1 (P1); repeat from * to the end of the row. This creates a ribbed texture that will be the foundation of your scarf.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): *Purl 1 (P1), Knit 1 (K1); repeat from * to the end of the row. This row will alternate the stitches, enhancing the ribbing effect.
4. Row 3: *Knit 1 (K1), Slip 1 with yarn in front (wyif); repeat from * to the end of the row. The slipped stitches will create a lovely texture.
5. Row 4: *Purl 1 (P1), Slip 1 with yarn in back (wyib); repeat from * to the end of the row. This will further enhance the unique stitch pattern.
6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating these four rows until your piece measures approximately 60 inches in length. This length will ensure that your infinity scarf wraps comfortably around your neck.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. A loose bind-off will help your scarf maintain its stretch and drape.
8. Join the Ends: To form a loop, sew the cast-on edge to the bind-off edge using a tapestry needle and the same yarn. Make sure to align the stitches evenly for a seamless finish.
9. Weave in Ends: Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This step is crucial for a polished look and to prevent any unraveling.

Your Ethereal Frost Chunky Infinity Scarf is now complete! Enjoy the warmth and elegance it brings to your winter wardrobe. Happy knitting!
