Free Pattern: Zoe Scarf
Infinity scarves make a nice addition to almost any outfit so I decided to include a new variation to the “zebra scarf”. Originally released in 2012, it was time for an update. The pattern now includes both a regular scarf and infinity scarf, with worsted and bulky weight versions. It is easy to make and looks nice in one color, stripes or variegated yarns.

You may start with a regular chain instead if preferred. This creates a slightly different edge (you really will like the other way if you give it a try).
