This infinity scarf is knit in the round, then folded in half so it has a lining and is double thick. You can begin with a long tail cast on, and bind off at the end, joining the two ends with a whip stitch seam, or you can begin with a provisional CO and join the live stitches at the end to the CO edge with 3 needle bind off. The scarf can be made in multiple lengths and widths. The short length wraps once around neck and the long wraps twice.

I have always been in love with folk art, folk tales, myths, and legends from around the world. It was only natural that these obsessions would intersect with my interest in knitting.

Small, all-over repeating geometric patterns are the oldest knitting designs found in Lithuania. Squares, stripes, zigzags, chevrons, diagonals, diamonds, lattices, and crosses are all well represented. Some of the designs, especially when used in particular combinations and in certain colors, are uniquely Lithuanian, while other patterns are ubiquitous, found wherever stranded color knitting is made. Although many designs may seem to be arbitrary or purely abstract, the shapes actually have meaning in the context of Lithuanian folk art dating back to the Stone Age.

Lithuanian symbols are closely tied to nature, with the earliest designs represented as small, geometric patterns. Recurring motifs include celestial objects, plants and flowers, birds, and a few reptiles and mammals.
