Knit Your OwnCozy Infinity Scarf | Mid-December

Dec 14

Looking for a quick, cozy knit you’ll actually wear (or gift) all winter? This infinity scarf is simple, warm, and satisfying — with a reversible texture that looks great from every angle. You can knit it in the round for a seamless finish, or flat if you prefer a more traditional approach.

It’s made with super bulky yarn, so it moves fast and feels instantly cozy the moment you put it on.

Versatility: Wrap It Your Way

Infinity scarves are my favorite because they’re effortless to wear. Wrap it once for a relaxed drape, or wrap it twice for extra warmth and a snug fit. This one sits nicely without feeling bulky.

Unique Texture: Fun Reversible Stitch

The stitch pattern is simple, but it gives you a beautiful textured fabric that’s reversible, which means it looks polished no matter how it twists while you wear it.

Knit Flat or in the Round

Choose the method you enjoy most:

Knit in the round: seamless and simple finishing
Knit flat: familiar construction, finished with seaming the ends together

Both options are included below.

Super Bulky Yarn: Easy, Quick, and Cozy

This pattern uses super bulky yarn for that warm, soft, winter scarf feel — and because the yarn is thick, you’ll see progress quickly. It’s a great project when you want something relaxing, straightforward, and doable in a short window of time.

Perfect for Yourself or Gifting

This is the kind of knit that feels like a sure thing: classic, wearable, and genuinely useful. Make one for yourself, then make another as a gift — it’s a great “I want something satisfying and fast” project.
