I found a couple of balls in my yarn stash, and knew it was time to use it !
As it is a boucle yarn I knitted it in a simple garter stitch (knit every row).
Larger than normal needles gave a pleasing open texture.
I knitted until I was almost out of yarn then cast off and joined the short edges together.
This infinity scarf / cowl used 80g of yarn.
Sage plants have a small deep vibrant dark blue / purple flower so I decided to add a detachable flower motif in this colour.

I always find it hard to use the bouclé yarn...but your idea is great! lovely infinity :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't enjoy working with boucle as it is slow to knit. But I do have more in my stash - and as I am stash busting I will just have to keep using it from time to time !
DeleteThat's a perfect stitch for boucle yarn and the whole thing has turned out lovely.
