Since I needed something quick, I decided to use some lightweight super bulky yarn in my stash.
Bernat Knit or Knot Clara. I have several skeins, in sets of two skeins each. I knew that it would take two skeins to make the scarf long enough. After my first failed attempt (too long, and too thin), I finally got it figured out.
I gave my first completed scarf to my sweet friend Maddie. She loves it! (and it looks great on her)
Here's how I made it:
Super Bulky Infinity Scarf
Materials: 2 hanks of Bernat Knit or Knot "Clara"
Size 19 (16 mm) circular needle - 29 inches long
Large Eyed Yarn Needle for weaving in those huge ends!
If you can't find Bernat Knit or Knot "Clara" yarn (it's been discontinued), look for a soft, lightweight super bulky yarn that knits to a gauge of 2 stitches per inch with a size 17 (13 mm) knitting needle.
Pattern: Loosely cast on 100 stitches with size 19 knitting needle. Join in the round.
Round 1 - Knit
Round 2 - Purl
Rounds 3 & 4 - Knit
Round 5 - Purl
Rounds 6 & 7 - Knit
Round 8 - Purl
Round 9, 10, & 11 - Knit
Round 12 - Purl
Rounds 13 & 14 - Knit
Round 15 - Purl
Rounds 16 & 17 - Knit
Round 18 - Purl
Cast Off, then weave in ends.
Enjoy!
Here's a photo of Bernat Knit or Knot Clara, so you know what the original yarn looks like:
That yarn comes in a long hank, so you'll need to get a friend to hold it for you, as you wind it up into a big ball. Or, you can use a fancy yarn swift. :) Here's a video, showing how to wind up that yarn:

Here's another one I made, using a different color of the same yarn:
Edited: I miscounted the center rows when I originally posted the pattern. There should be 3 knit rows in the center, instead of 5. So, there are 18 total rows for the design. Happy Knitting!
