It’s time to follow up with the infinity or loop scarf topic. A wrapped around your neck knitted infinity scarf will keep you warm during cold winter times. As an alternative to sewing a loop scarf from a warm wool fabric you can knit yourself one.
For this knitted scarf a basketweave knitting pattern was used. Basketweave pattern is an easy stitch pattern that combines knits and purls into a fabric that looks woven and really pretty.

– 2 Skeins of red wool yarn (5 0z. each) or 6 smaller skeins of Turkish 100% wool
Size
The infinity scarf is 40 in/ 100 cm long and 10 in/25cm wide
Abbreviations

Notes to the chart:
– chart is worked from right to left and bottom to top
– 1st and last stitch form the edge of the knitting and therefore are not shown on the scheme.
Update: I have interchanged the written instructions to the chart pattern. I think this will be more understandable.
Moreover, one should keep in mind that there’s more than one way to wear an infinity loop scarf.
- Single loop
- Capelet
- Double loop
- Double loop with hood
- Shawl
