Description: This infinity cowl was designed to have masculine appeal with enough sophistication in the pattern to make it fun to knit. Knit in the round, the textured pattern is nearly reversible, which is great, as there is no telling how a guy might choose to wear it. The length is large enough to comfortably wrap around the neck twice when it is cold, but a repeat or two can lengthen it if you prefer a really long infinity cowl. The scarf is made with worsted weight yarn, but is easily adapted to different yarn weights, depending on what you have in your stash. Directions are provided in written and chart form.

Finished Size: 44” X 8” unblocked; 48” by 8” blocked.

Difficulty: Beginner who has some experience with knitting in the round.

Materials: Smooth worsted weight yarn to show off stitch definition. Scarf shown is knitted with 2 skeins Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage (100% merino superwash; 100g/ 200 yds) in the Thunderstorm colorway. Size # 7 4.5 mm 24” or 32” circular needles or size needed to get gauge. Exact gauge is not crucial, though yardage requirements may vary if your gauge is much different. Stitch markers.
