Infinity scarf for my friend

This was a fun project.  I had bought the yarn, Laines du Nord Cashsilk, maybe 5 years ago at Tuesday Morning. It is 50% merino wool, 25% silk and 25% cashmere, and it is as  buttery soft as that combination sounds like it would be.  It felt so good I had to buy it!   I crocheted one fingerless mitt out of it but never made a second one as I don't really wear mitts     So i had several balls of this in my stash and never knew what to do with it; the red is so bright that I could not wear it close to my face as I am way too pale.  (I also bought some black and made a neckwarmer for my husband that he uses a lot.)  

 

Finally this year the perfect opportunity presented itself.  Our weekly stitching group drew names and I drew the name of Maria whose favorite color is red.  Boy did I ever have the perfect RED    for her!  So I  made this scarf which I think she liked. I used up almost all of the red.  The stitch pattern is a shell of 2 dc, ch1, dc, with a sc in between each shell, and shell in sc on next row, sc in ch1 of shell.  I made it as a long strip and sewed it together to make it a big ring.  it is long enough to loop around twice or even three times.  I also gave her some sample sizes of Eucalan to wash it in.  

 

(wow, I am proud of myself!  I actually got the photos right where I wanted them in the post---major accomplishment lol)

Thanks, Lynn, Bev, and Katy

It does feel pretty nice.  Cashsilk is discontinued but I'd be interested in using other similar blends.

Very pretty!  I've been looking at infinity patterns and thought I would try one.  Your's sounds pretty easy peasy!

Hi Deb, thanks!  It was very easy.   There is a seam, which shows a bit on one side but I managed to get it pretty invisible on one side.  I guess the advantage of working it longways and in a circle would be there would not be a seam.  But this way I was able to crochet until I ran out of yarn, so that seemed like the best choice as I didn't have a lot of yarn.
