Super Chunky Infinity Scarf - Free Knitting Pattern

It's been awhile since my last post. Life, baby, the holiday season, and my Etsy shop kept me very busy. I did not plan my 2019 blog posts very well, so I did not have content to publish during my busy season. That is my goal for 2020. I am hoping to get blog posts and patterns ready during my slower season in 2020, so that when the rush hits, I can still publish some new things for you.

I am ending the 2019 year with a free knitting pattern. I wanted a super chunky scarf to coordinate with some of the hats in my wardrobe. But I also wanted it to work up quickly, because I have so much to do, with so little time to do it. Enter the Daphne scarf! Knit with size 50 needles, and 2 strands of super bulky yarn, this might just be the coziest thing I have ever made! And it is a super simple pattern, which makes it perfect for knitting while watching Netflix.
