Free Knitting Pattern Simplicity Eternity Scarf/Cowl

I was looking for an eternity scarf made with one skein of yarn (a bit more than 200 yards) and a very simple one. I saw plenty patterns out there, but couldn't find just what I was looking for: plain, but with a twist... Also I only had 1 skein of yarn I wanted to work with. And so my Simplicity Eternity Scarf was born. I am just a beginner knitter, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Yarn: Berroco Ultra Alpaca
Gauge: 8 stitches 10 rows equal 2x2 inches
4 mm needles

Cast on 30

RS: knit all
WS: knit 15, purl 15

Repeat until you run out of yarn or until you reach the desired scarf/cowl length. Mine is 42 inches long, just enough to wrap around my neck twice, and yet not too long with only one wrap.

Bind off.
Connect both ends with a needle or a crochet hook.

That's it! I told you it was super easy! I'm ashamed to call it a real pattern :)

I hope you enjoy it!

New Pattern Coming Soon - Convertible Mittens

I love these :) Can't wait to finish writing the pattern and having it released.

Sunset Lace Shawl: Testers needed

I am looking for nice girls and guys to try out this beautiful pattern for me.

It's to be made using lace or fingering weight yarn and 4-4.5 mm hook. You'll need 700 meters of yarn, and 15-20 hours to complete the shawl. I would like to see your finished pictures and some feedback.

Bath Puff Party

I am always so happy to see what was created using my patterns. I want to share with you a few pictures of bath puffs made by fellow crocheters. A free pattern is available in an earlier post.
