Loom Knit 2 Tone Infinity Scarf

on January 24, 2019

Warm up with a DIY Loom Knit 2 Tone infinity scarf. Super simple and super cozy! Perfect for the breezy weather and an evening project.

So, I came to the realization the other day that my yarn stash is kinda out of control. This scarf has been in the making for a really long time, if only because I bought the yarn a few years ago and couldn’t decide what to do with it.

Here’s my yarn shopping process in case you were curious. I head into the craft store to buy very specific yarn for a very specific project. THEN I pass by an endcap with some really pretty new yarn that they’re advertising. If its a color I like, I feel it to see how soft and/or squishy it is. It is not a yarn I need for my project… or need at all. So then, if I’m into it, I tend to grab a skein and wander around the store for approximately 30 minutes, looking at stuff and squishing this yarn to decide if I want it or not. And then I end up buying it 2 out of 3 times. Yep. I’m might have a problem. Last time I tried to Tidy Up, I spent a solid few hours holding yarn close and deciding if it sparked joy.

This project uses my favorite chunky yarn – Hometown USA and I saw the two colors side by side and thought… those are just weird enough they might work. So, here we are!
