One of my favorite things to knit is an infinity scarf created in the round. This eliminates the possibility of the back showing on your scarf and turns out very lovely. I designed this scarf after a friend of mine, who is a Washington team fan was admiring a herringbone scarf I had knit several years prior. If desired, you could customize the pattern in many different ways from the number of herringbone repeats an the logo in between. The two needle sizes ensures the logo section doesn’t balloon out compared to the colorwork section. Enjoy!
