This scarf is made in a branching leaves pattern using fingering weight colour change yarn and a 3.5mm hook.  Featured here is Garnmanufaktur Lola (300g/1125m) in the gorgeous Strelizia colourway. Lola is a hand-tied, 4-strand cotton/acrylic yarn from Germany which contains 6-8 colours giving you up to 16 colour changes depending on the Lola being used. Another great option for this pattern is the Scheepjes Whirl. This is similar to Lola but has slightly less yarn and is plied rather than stranded which is often easier to work with. My finished scarf measured 30cm (12”) wide by 295cm (116”) long.

The pattern includes three different finishing techniques which enable you to wear this scarf at least four different ways:

Scarf Finish: Leave it as an extra long scarf without any seams to wear as a scarf or to wrap in a criss-cross to turn it into a shawl.

Infinity Scarf Finish: Connect the ends to create a long infinity scarf

Sleeve Scarf Finish: Sew sleeve seams to create a sleeve scarf that can also be worn as a normal scarf.

The stitches used are simple but the pattern is classed as intermediate because you have to be careful of your stitch count and placement.  Happy Hooking!
