Quick gift idea

While attempting to figure out which size Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag I wanted for Christmas I was looking at youtube videos to attempt to choose the right size.  While doing this I happened to stumble upon a "30 min" hand knit scarf tutorial.   It took me another ten hours before I actually decided to watch the tutorial, and I figured while I was at it why not just follow the video and make myself an infinity scarf.  As a knitter I have a ridiculous stock pile of yarn, and had received some grey yarn that I planned on using for an infinity scarf.  So I pulled it out and got to work watching the video.  For people who are not knitters it is very easy to find a tutorial that is easy to follow.  The one I was following was very slow for me, but this is only because I have been knitting for almost two years and it is the exact same thing just using your hands.

Here is the finished product.  This was taken at around three in the morning, so I was just trying to take a quick photo.   The following day after hearing feedback from a friend for thinking it wasn't long enough I realized the first photo did not do it justice.  So below I have it layered for a longer look.

The scarf took me about an hour to finish, and I actually made another one during the Seahawks game on Sunday.  That one I didn't time, but I'm fairly certain it took a bit longer than a half hour.  I have seen many people fall in love with this scarf, I being one of them.  The ease and inexpensiveness of this project makes for an awesome Christmas present for a friend or family member.  I used a ball of yarn and the sizing was perfect.  Maybe I will make a tutorial video later. 
For those who are knitters here is my pattern.

Hand knit infinity scarf
CO 15 stitches( I doubled my yarn) Make sure you don't make them too tight they need to be able to move on your arm.
K 30 rows(the video I watched said 20 but I like longer scarves.)
BO
sew ends together if you want it to be an infinity scarf, otherwise sew the ends to finish the scarf.

If you have any questions please leave a comment, I will do my best to help.  Oh and if you look up 30 minute infinity scarf you should be able to find a youtube tutorial.
