Keep Cozy with a Moss Stitch Infinity Scarf

December 30, 2015 by Sarah White

stitch up a cute and quick moss stitch infinity scarfI have been seeing lots of patterns lately using Moss Stitch, particularly as a textured stitch for a cowl. Which is funny to me, because a Moss Stitch cowl has been my traveling project all fall (and is still a long way from being done, actually).

This Moss Stitch Infinity Scarf from Portia at Makery is lovely. Worked in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in a luscious plum color (I actually have a shawl worked in this very yarn and I love it) it’s the perfect mindless knitting project.

It’s not even really a pattern; just cast on an odd number of stitches, work the one-row repeat of Moss Stitch, bind off when you want and sew the edges together. You can add a twist before you sew the ends together if you like to make a mobius-like project, too.

Do you like cowls, or are you more of a “regular” scarf person? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

A Knit Vest to Get You Ready for Summer

I know that my posts can be read at different times of year and in different years by different people, but as I write this we’re on teh cusp of summer. And I know a lot of people don’t knit as much, and certainly don’t wear a lot of knits in the summer, but I want to encourage you to make and to wear your makes no matter the temperature.

To introduce you to the joys of summer garment knitting, I offer the Tied Vest from Lion Brand Yarn.

This easy project is great to make and wear throughout the year but it’s especially good for summer. It’s worked flat in one piece from the bottom up, mostly in stockinette stitch with a seed stitch edging. The I-cord ties are worked directly onto the garment so you don’t have to sew them on.

The project uses worsted weight yarn, and calls for a blend of cotton and hemp that’s great for warm weather.

There are eight size options, ranging from a finished chest measurement of 35 to 62.5 inches, or 89 to 159 cm. That makes it sound like it should be worn with at least a few inches of positive ease, but the pattern doesn’t specify.

The ties at the front give it a casual look and make it great to wear over a tank top or T-shirt when the weather is warm.

I also think this one would be good to knit in wool or a warmer fiber, too, to make a version you could wear more comfortably in the winter months, too. Though of course you could layer the summer version over a long-sleeved shirt and wear it throughout the year, too.

The tied vest is a free pattern available from Lion Brand. You can also purchase a kit that includes the yarn and optional needles and stitch markers if you need them.
