Row 2: *4 sl st into BLO of 4 sl sts of the previous row, 4 hdc into BLO of 4 hdc of the previous row*; continue to the end of the row ending with 4 sl sts into BLO. Ch 2, turn.

To continue, repeat rows 1-4 until you use all the yarn and the scarf reaches 58 inches in length. In fact, this is the perfect length for an infinity scarf.
