Infinity Scarf Knitting Pattern "Lollipop Cowl" in fingering yarn

"Lollipop Cowl" - an infinity scarf knitting pattern using fingering yarn. It is a lightweight cowl due to the sock yarn that is recommended. The stitch pattern itself is a textured pattern, creating lengthwise ridges with interesting stitches showing. It is not a pattern for knitting beginners, but it is not difficult to do if you have some experience with increases and decreases.

This is not a project that will be finished quickly, it takes its time. There are a lot of stitches on your needles. Don't expect immediate results. It is a very rewarding knit though, enjoyable and a relaxing knit with a beautiful result. A unisex loop scarf that is suitable for both men and women.

The sample shown in the pictures was made out of Regia 4-ply, quite an ordinary sock yarn that is very popular here. I think it is also available in Northern America. However, any fingering yarn will work for the pattern. It will also work in other yarn weights as long as you don't choose an aran or bulky. Just make sure to make a gauge swatch before you start to determine how many stitches to cast on. In the same way, by knitting a gauge swatch, you can also adjust the cowl in length if you want it to be shorter.

The pattern is written and includes a chart for the stitch pattern.

If you purchase the pattern, start knitting and (which I don't hope) get to a point where you don't know how to go on, my contact info is in the pattern. I am always happy to help. Please bear in mind that I sometimes need to sleep and don't spend all day on the internet. But I check my mails every day.

Please read below for more pattern details.

This long infinity scarf is worked in a very stretchy stitch pattern. Using fingering weight sock yarn, it is a lightweight accessory that will still keep you warm in winter. The stitch pattern is reversible, either side looks good.

This is not a quick knit, but it is a very enjoyable knit that will allow you to watch football besides if you so wish.
