I wanted a design that works up great as an infinity scarf in the round. The Rina is so easy to knit with every other round working up in knit stitches. The chunky yarn and larger needles means it’s super fast too.
To create the stitch pattern you’ll use slip ones, yarn overs and knit two togethers. If these are new stitches to you this cowl might be a great way to learn some new techniques. Just check out the stitches and abbreviations section below, or watch the full video tutorial.
