The Original Post (10/21/2018)

Who doesn’t love a nice infinity scarf? My teenager does, and I have to admit, I also enjoy them. The Fall in Love with Paris Infinity Scarf is perfect for those of you looking for something to knit that doesn’t require a lot of knowledge. If you can knit, purl, and yarn over, you’re golden!

The design for the Fall in Love with Paris Infinity Scarf was created completely around this really fun yarn I found at the Blue Heron Knittery while I attended the first annual Driftless Loop Yarn Hop.

It was such a fun lacy-like yarn; I just had to do something fun with it. While searching for inspiration, I found this Eiffel Tower Knit Stitch; how perfect! My oldest daughter is taking French and is just falling in love with the language and culture. So I thought this would be the perfect scarf for her. As I shared my progress, others fell in love with the yarn and design. I made another as a custom order (thank goodness I had a second skein).

How cute did this turn out? As I shared the progress, someone ordered this exact scarf! Thankfully, I bought 2 skeins, so I was able to complete it right away!

The Update

Two years later…. and I have more so than ever. I have a wristlet pattern coming soon, and a beret pattern as well. I’ve also majorly improved my pattern writing skills. So to all of you who have been there since the beginning, thank you for your patience.

Well, this pattern is now updated to show you the details of that Eiffel Tower stitch.

The yarn I picked this time, was from Fairy Tale Yarn Co. This particular yarn base is called Excalibur. It’s a wonderful fingering weight yarn and is 600 yards of amazing color! That’s right 600 yards!

Now, you might be thinking “Um does this scarf need all 600 yards?” the answer is No. But, there is a rhyme/reason for my madness. This one skein will make the scarf, the beret, AND the wristlet (beret an d wristlet coming soon). WHAT?!

I bought this wonderfully large skein of yarn on her website, but I discovered her amazing work through Unwound, a local yarn shop (LYS) in La Crosse. If you’ve never been to a local yarn shop and are lucky to have one, Go! They are AMAZING! The help you get, the yarn you will find. Seriously. Try it.

Notes

• Gauge isn’t super important, but just remember, if you use larger yarn and needles your Fall in Love with Paris Infinity Scarf will be longer. Or… Vise-versa, if you use smaller yarn and needles, you will get a shorter scarf. Also, if you use a less lacy yarn, the Eiffel Tower shows better, but I was going for a lacy design.
• To adjust length, increase or decrease the starting cast on by 8

Stitches

Knit

Insert the right needle into the first stitch, bottom to top; push the right needle into the stitch; grab the yarn attached to the ball of yarn; wrap the yarn around the needle, back to front; pull the yarn down. Gently pull the needle down and pick out the yarn on the needle; Push the right needle into the loop; pull the right needle off the left needle; pull the yarn attached to the ball of yarn to tighten the stitch (if needed).

Purl:

Insert the right needle into the stitch from top to bottom; wrap the working yarn around the right needle from front to back; wrap the yarn all the way around the right needle creating a loop. Pull the loop under and through the stitch on the left needle; push the right needle through the loop; then all the way into the stitch; Pull the stitch off of the left needle. Then pull the yarn attached to the ball of yarn to tighten the stitch (if needed).

Yarn over:

*This is for yarn over between purl stitches.*

Wrap the yarn around the right-hand needle front to back to front so that it ends up in the purl position again.

Purl 2 Together:

Insert the right-hand needle purlwise into the next 2 stitches on the left-hand needle. Then wrap yarn (attached to the ball) around the right-hand needle. Pull the right-hand needle through the loop (just as you would with one).

Pattern:

Cast on 448 (I did long-tail cast-on, but any cast-on will do for this project, it depends on your yarn coloring). Place the stitch marker at the end before joining. Straighten your stitches, being careful not to twist the stitches, and join round.

Cast off purlwise with loose tension. Weave in ends. Block when finished. If you don’t it will curl.

Once it’s done… wear it and enjoy! Bien S’amuser.
