Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in gradient colors (choose shades that remind you of the aurora borealis, such as deep blues, purples, and greens)
• Needles: US Size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 120 stitches onto your US Size 15 knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not twisted before joining in the round.
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join your work in the round. To do this, ensure that the first stitch is not twisted around the needle. You can do this by laying your work flat and checking that the stitches are aligned correctly.
3. Ribbing: Work in a k2, p2 rib for 4 rounds. This means you will knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches, and repeat this pattern until you have completed 4 rounds. This will create a stretchy and textured edge for your scarf.
4. Main Pattern: Now, switch to the main stitch pattern:
   • Round 1: *K3, yo (yarn over), k2tog (knit two together), p2; repeat from * to end of the round.
   • Round 2: Knit all stitches.
   Repeat these 2 rounds until the scarf measures 12 inches in width. This stitch pattern will create gentle waves and eyelets, adding depth and interest to your scarf.
5. Bind Off: Once your scarf measures 12 inches in width, bind off loosely in pattern. To do this, knit the first two stitches, then use the first stitch to bind off the second stitch. Continue this method until all stitches are bound off.
6. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in all loose ends. Make sure to secure the yarn well so that it doesn’t unravel.

Your Aurora Borealis Infinity Scarf is now complete! Wrap it around your neck twice for extra warmth and enjoy the cozy comfort of your handmade creation. Happy knitting!
