First Time Infinity Scarf (Écharpe Tube)



Done last year (early december 2012)
Working time required: several days

This was my first crochet projet.
November 2012 I lost my job, I had to do something with all the spare time I have instead of sleeping until noon, watching dramas on TV and waiting for my husband to come home from work. What a dull life!

I decided to check something out in youtube to have any idea what to do, which was easy enough so I won't give up easily. 

I found this video:

I think the explanation is clear enough so I decided to buy some yarn to start the project.
I bought them in Coupon d'Alsace in Piéd d'Égouttes, Montbéliard.

I don't remember very well but I think I used 4 yarn in total. Mark of the yarn is visible on the photo (below) & I also put photos of color information & laundry instruction.

Note:
The scarf is VERY long, I wasn't sure how many chain I made in the beginning but I was measuring from the middle back of my husband's neck down to his tummy. Since he is a tall guy (1,91m) I think it would make him look funny if he wears a scarf which is too short for him. Unfortunately I didn't thought about the elasticity of the woll.
Long story short - when he wears this, he can wrap 3 times around his neck (not too loose) and still have the rest long enough fall down below the chest :)

He's okay with that (of course!) and he wears it all the time in winter (even until now)..
It's the intension that counts ;)

Happy Crocheting!
