I have never published a pattern that caused as much drama as this one did. So, why did this pattern cause drama, you ask. Normally, I check over a pattern before I publish it and make sure that it is written as clearly and correctly as I know how to make it. Somehow, when I first published this pattern (on my old blog), I did so in it’s rough draft form. And even worse, I didn’t realize it immediately. It wasn’t unworkable as it was written, and some very nice folks added some helpful hints in the comments, but by the time I realized what was going on, my life had gotten incredibly busy and I just didn’t have the time to re-work and re-write. I left it up with a note on it explaining what had happened and that I was leaving it up because some people were using it and enjoying it, and I didn’t want to just make it disappear. And that is where the drama started. I then received some very ugly comments about how I shouldn’t be making excuses for not fixing it, and that maybe if I couldn’t do any better than that, I shouldn’t even be sharing patterns. Really? I mean, it was free, for crying out loud! But it all ended well when many many lovely people left me comments of kindness and support, and the ugly comments showed themselves for what they were.

So after that long and dramatic story, here is the pattern.

I am going to give you an updated version of this using a Caron Cake, and then how I worked the original scarf, and then instructions for turning it into an over-sized scarf.

Because of how the colors in the cake came out, I chose to make the Caron Cake version into an infinity scarf.

Supplies:

(1) 7.1 oz. Caron Cake, worsted weight

Hook: H/8 5.00mm

Stitches used

Chain (ch)

To continue pattern, repeat rows 4-10. Continue repeating until yarn runs out, ending with row 7 and leaving enough yarn to work a row of slip stitch.

Slip stitch the two short ends together, finish off, and weave in ends.
