What might appear tedious and complicated is actually an intuitive design. Panels of quills and crosses adorn this infinity scarf through meditative two-color knitting. Breaks of stockinette allow your mind to disengage and appreciate the colorwork as you knit. Knit in the round and grafted together, everyone will have their eyes on this stunning statement piece!
