An infinity scarf is simply a long rectangle joined at the short ends. This version uses a repeating dc and chain texture that is quick to memorize. Adjust the rectangle length for one loop or a longer double-wrap cowl.
Supplies and stitch key
- Bulky yarn, 250–350 yd
- 6.5 mm hook, yarn needle
- ch = chain; dc = double crochet; sc = single crochet; sp = space
Gauge: 10 dc × 6 rows = 4 in / 10 cm. A rectangle around 8 in wide and 60–65 in long makes a generous single loop.
Pattern
- Ch 22. Row 1: dc in the fourth ch from hook, *ch 1, skip 1 ch, dc in next ch*; repeat across. Ch 3, turn.
- Row 2: dc in the first dc, *ch 1, dc in the next dc* across, placing each dc into a dc from the row below. Ch 3, turn.
- Repeat Row 2 until the rectangle reaches your chosen length. The texture should lie flat; use a larger hook if it feels stiff.
- Lay the short ends together without twisting the fabric. Join with sc through both layers, or use a mattress stitch for a nearly invisible seam.
- Weave in the ends and gently block the seam flat.
Make it your own
For a double-wrap loop, add length until it comfortably passes over your head twice. For a lighter cowl, use DK yarn and a smaller hook, then make a narrower rectangle. Always check the loop over your head before fastening off the seam.
