Kit Mariniere Infinity Scarf
The Kit Mariniere Infinity scarf by Brooknit Bonneterie is an ideal project to practice simple stitches, in the round and start introducing simple changes of colors, and creating stripes.
The scarf is a closed loop that allows you to wrap it twice around your neck and keep you warm without being very chunky.
The design is an elevated version of the easy infinity scarf, with the addition of the iconic French stripes, Mariniere style.
It is pretty, elegant, and versatile.
It is easy to knit: practice your stitches with ease and confidence and gain pace and fluidity.
You will learn how to manage two colors, and create stripes.
For more experienced knitter, it is the perfect med-knitative, yet not boring project!
The pattern is written in a single size, knitted in the round. You will find the written instructions, and access to quick videos to support your learnings, or refresh your skills.

Care
Good news: the Super Wash 100% Merino is machine washable! Pick the delicate or wool program, use a wool detergent, cold temperature.
Just lay flat to dry (preferably on a towel) and VOILA!
Gravity on wet wool is not a friend here and will cause distortions in the garment.
For small stains, you can gently use a little bit of soap and water.
And remember, Merino wool is a natural fiber and you don't need to wash often. Unpleasant odors can naturally fly away by simply airing out the garment for a couple of hours (weather permitting obviously!).
