This rustic knit infinity scarf has a simple construction, intended to showcase the chunky wool and metal embellishment. Donatello brought the slub white wool from Colombia a few years ago, and it has been sitting in my stash waiting for the right project to come along.
Later as I started de-cluttering my stuff (part of my 2016 tidying up goals), I found a large metal piece in my jewelry collection. It was too large to be refashioned as earrings or a pendant, so I decided it was the perfect embellishment to my thick Colombian wool.
After knitting the infinity scarf, I skipped the blocking to keep the rustic vibe. To attach the metal pendant, I used a flat white makeup sponge to anchor it, which prevents pulling. See second last photo below for a visual.
