Spring Vine Infinty Scarf for Loom Knitters

Spring Vine Infinity Scarf

(Originally Published in Loom Knitters Circle Magazine Spring 2012 Issue.)

The spring vine infinity scarf was created as a spring birthday gift for my mother-in-law. Spring is her favorite time of the year. Newly rooted vines will start to stretch up and eventually burst forth a utopia of blossoms. I wanted to make her something that reminded her of spring vines and the coming textures, of all the new growth to come. Choosing a pink that gently changes in color like the season, an infinity scarf to symbolize the promise, the renewal, she adored it! The scarf when worn singly around the neck hangs low to mimic a hammock in the breeze, double up around the neck for a cool crisp night before summer is upon us.
