Infinity Scarf on Circular Knitting Needles

Cowls aka. infinity scarf,  have been the latest fashion trends for winter. I've seen so many different prints and styles. I've been wanting to make one on my own for some time. I grabbed a size 15 29' pair of circular knitting needles at Michael's the other day. I picked up a pair of circular knitting needles at Michael's a couple of weeks ago.

There was a lot to learn about knitting cowls. They are easy to do but thought must be given to the type of stitch you'll be using to make your cowl scarf.

Loops & Threads Country Loom Yarn, I used the color Shale. It's a ridicously soft yarn which makes for looser stitches. The first cowl I made with this yarn was warm but I wanted a tighter knit. My cool co-worker got me Red Heart's Stitch Nation by Debby Stoller in Full O'Sheep/ Passionfruit. It's such a BEAUTIFUL color. This is a great yarn for mixing.  I'm going to get photos up here soon. I just have to finish weaving in the ends of my first cowl and bind off the second one.

This is what I did:

I really liked how this one came out. It was really soft. But I ended up undoing the whole scarf because I didn't rib the other end and I didn't like it.

Quick tips for cowls:

1. If using the Stockinette Stitch, start with a stitch that won't curl (i.e. Garter Stitch or Seed Stitch). End also with this stitch before you bind off.
2. You don't need circular knitting needles to make a cowl scarf. DO take note of the type of stitch you're using so that you know how to correctly join the seams together.
