I love spending time outside during the Fall season and being surrounded by the trees and their beautiful colors. I enjoy the chilly mornings and the evenings on the deck by the fire...and long and warm scarves are always with me during this time of the year!
Yes, I cannot hide that I'm kinda obsessed with scarves and I buy and make too many.
But how can you resist their awesome patterns and colors?
...and apparently I'm not alone! Look at the gorgeous scarf Coco the Rabbit is wearing!!
I made this infinity scarf with the Tunisian technique that allows you to obtain a wonderful knit-like look! Have you ever tried the Tunisian Simple Stitch?
Here on the blog you'll find the written instructions on how to work the scarf, but if you are new to this technique you can find many explanatory step-by-step pictures on the PDF version listed on my Etsy page
So are you ready to make your own Coco the Rabbit?!

SCARF (mustard yarn)

3) Insert your hook into the next chain, yarn over and pull the strand of yarn through the first loop on your hook. This adds one loop onto your hook.
Repeat steps 3 for each chain across. When you are done you should have 5 loops on your hook.
Now let’s complete this row of Tunisian simple stitches by working in the opposite direction.
4) Yarn over, pull the strand of yarn through the first loop on your hook. There should still be 5 loops on your hook.
5) Yarn over, pull the strand of yarn through the next 2 loops on your hook. There should now be 1 less loop on your hook.
Repeat steps 5 until there is only 1 loop left on your hook.
6) Insert your hook between the 2 vertical bars of the 2nd st. Yarn over, pull the strand of yarn through the first loop on your hook. This adds one loop onto your hook.
Do the same for each stitch across. When you are done you should have 5 loops on your hook.
Make a total of 75 rows. Once you have completed the last row, fasten off and leave a long tail of yarn to sew the first and the last rows together.
Wrap the infinity scarf around Coco's body.
