Golden Check Infinity Scarf – Free Pattern

September 11, 2017 3 Comments

Get your hands on a free knitting pattern for the Golden Check Infinity Scarf!
Who doesn’t love a good single skein knitting pattern? My husband was in need of a new scarf for fall, and I wanted to make him something textural and masculine. This checked scarf with bands of garter stitch at even intervals fits the bill! I love how the chain edge and knit and purl motifs really add a nice polish to a simple pattern. This easy scarf is a great stash buster since you only need one skein of yarn – no need to worry about dye lots, and it doesn’t take a million hours to finish!

Instagram post 18043011205209234 Happy weekend, everyone! There are several new faces today, so to you, I say welcome! 😊 I’m Heidi, the knitting, crochet and yarn crafts designer behind Hands Occupied. I’m based in Chicago, where I work out of a small studio space, the Hands Occupied Studio. Every week I host an open Craft Night and on the last Sunday of the month we have a Crafternoon. They’re all free and open to anyone who wants to hang out and craft with others (snacks are always welcome!). .
.

A little about me: I’m a knit and crochet pattern designer, but I’m really about all things string, from crochet to macramé. Lately I’ve been particularly obsessed with contemporary latch hook and punch needle trends. However, in my recent handmade wardrobe projects I’ve been drawn to everything vintage. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Funny how that works! 😆.
.

In addition to the blog, design work, and the Studio, I co-host the Very @seriouscrafts Podcast, a top 10-ranked crafts podcast heading into our third season in 2020! 🎙 That about covers it - thanks so much for indulging a long caption 🙏🏼 , and I’m so glad to have you here! ☺️❤️💛💙 #handsoccupied #veryseriouscrafts
