This design was born almost 4 years ago as part of a collection for Sock Summit. I'm so excited about its re-release as a single pattern.
Cannon Beach is now available on Ravelry and to celebrate, it is on sale for $4.00 until the end of May. Here it is in the lovely Anzula For Better or Worsted.
The warm days at the beach we long for can last into the evening with something soft and snug. For those chilly evening walks, this infinity scarf is the perfect summer accessory. Knit in either a fingering or worsted weight yarn, you can decide just how much warmth you want!
Inspired by the patterns in the the sand, the simple repeat grows into elegant waves. The pattern includes instructions for a 42” (48”) circumference and 8” (10 ½”) tall for fingering weight versions, after blocking and a 40” circumference and 9” tall for worsted weight version, after blocking. The fingering versions require ~ 345 (485) yards and the worsted weight version requires 400 yards.
I absolutely love the photos Jill Zielinski, aka Knitterella, did for this photoshoot. Her and my gorgeous model, Dani Cianek make a great team! Thanks ladies!
And of course, a very special thanks to my fabulous test knitter, Tracey!! Love you dear! Many of you know her as tbmccarthy on ravelry. Have you checked out her fabulous podcast, Moms with Yarn? I love these ladies! Here she talks about her experience knitting Cannon Beach!
I love it knit up in the gradient yarn! Here's a sample I was knitting in Black Trillium Fibre Studio Pebble Sock Gradient Yarns.
There's still plenty of time to join our "Playing with Color KAL!" in the IGK Designs group over on Ravelry. Join the fun! I can't wait to see your results. Remember, to celebrate its re-release, Cannon Beach is on sale for $4.00 until the end of May.
Keep checking back, I've been getting patterns finalized and will have another available very very soon!
Oh, and speaking of patterns, thank you all for you well wishes on all the good things happening lately! I have some exciting news to share in the next week or so! But first, the winners of an IGK pattern of their choice from the good things contest are: Katie and Jane. Congrats ladies! If you message: cheekyattitude (Tricia) on ravelry, she'll get you a pattern of your choice (or email her at Tricia AT cheekyattitude DOT com)
Happy Knitting!

Question: what is the yardage requirements for this?
This lovely pattern is listed as an infinity scarf and appears to go from the neck almost to the waist, but the largest circumference is given as 24", which seems like it would barely go over my 22" head.
What am I not understanding?
Danielle- The yardage was listed on Ravelry, but I updated it here too. For the fingering versions ~345 (485) yards (for the two different sizes); or 400 yards for the worsted weight version. I hope that helps!
GeniaKnitz- Thanks for your question. Typo on our end! Sorry for the confusion! The circumference is either 42 (48)" for fingering versions or 40" for the worsted weight version shown.
Carrie:
Thanks so much for your rapid response, and for the beautiful pattern. I'm so glad I asked. This one is way up high on my queue.
P.S. Will there be an update to the pattern on Ravelry for those of us who already purchased the pattern?
Genia
