Free Pattern: Infinity Scarf

My New's Years Resolution this year was to try something new.
I had never tried to make an Infinity Scarf.
I browsed the options on Google and on Ravelry, but I found nothing I wanted to crochet.

An event horizon is defined as being an invisible boundary around a black hole past which nothing can escape the gravitational pull - not even light. However, one thing did escape.
Inspiration!

Event Horizon Infinity Scarf worn by Sarah Richards | Photography taken by Chris Richards

By using the Star Stitch, I have created and crocheted my first infinity scarf and I love it!
  
It goes fantastic with the Snowflake Mittens I crocheted.
In addition, after researching different ways to wear an infinity scarf, I found I can wrap it up like a hood and not squish the Flower Barrette I had garnishing my messy bun!
I had no idea this popular accessory was so versatile.

The fabric created with the Lion Brand’s Heartland in Black Canyon made a garment that is now a staple for my wardrobe.

Here is the pattern:
