Make the Turn is the pattern designed by Gary Boston and Louis Boria for the first ever Knit Stars Pro-Am Design Competition. It includes instructions for both a Scarf and Infinity Scarf version. The pattern is currently available as part of a package that also includes the other competition entry- Candace’s Comfort Shawl by Nina Machlin Dayton and Malinda Lesko. 100% of pattern sales proceeds will be donated to AIDS/Lifecycle supporting the work of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and Los Angeles LGBT Center

The pattern includes links to video tutorials for techniques used.

Yarn: Loops Luxe Chunky (70% Royal Alpaca/30% Silk) 109 yds/ 100g – 4 skeins for scarf version/ 3 skeins for Infinity Scarf version. Color: Loops Blue

NOTE: Although yarn is listed as Chunky, we knit it at more of an Aran guage. Check guage for yarn substitutions.

Needles: US size 8 (5.0 mm) 24” circulars/ US Size 8 (5.0 mm) DPNs for Infinity Scarf version.

Notions: (For Infinity Scarf version)- Crochet hook for Provisional cast on, waste yarn, (for both versions) cable needle and tapestry needle.

Gauge: 21 stitches and 20 rows over 4” in 2 x 2 rib. Note: Gauge is not critical, but for the scarf version you will be close to using full yarn requirements, so best to measure.

Bonus: A coordinating hat (to be released) pattern uses 1 skein. If you purchase pattern during Makealong (1/3/24-2/15/24) you will receive a code for free copy of forthcoming hat pattern.
