Snakes belong to the sub-order of reptiles called Ophidia. The ancient Ouroboros symbol depicts a snake eating its own tail and has been said to symbolize infinity or wholeness. The large cables on this infinity scarf are reminiscent of snakes winding infinitely around and around creating a deep texture that is especially warm and soft when knit with Malabrigo Mecha. It will wrap twice around your neck.

The knitting begins with a provisional cast-on and once completed the live stitches are grafted together. The cables are simple 8 stitch left and right crosses.
