Loose infinity scarf - crochet version


Size L hook
Size F hook

Lightweight yarn I used Silken Effect by 5th Avenue

Chain 20 with larger hook
hdc in 3rd chain from hook & across

Rows 2 - 78
Chain 2 (counts as first hdc)
in back loop only hdc across

fasten off and weave in ends

Fold the scarf in half lengthwise matching up the ends a to a and b to b then give it a twist and match corners a to corners b



sew the ends together

you now have an infinity loop


For the gather strip use the smaller hook 
chain 11
hdc in 3rd chain from hook and across

Rows 2 - 20
Chain 2 (counts as first hdc)
in back loop only hdc across

fasten off and weave in ends

sew the small strip together in a tube around the scarf.  I position it to hide the seam where the scarf ends were sewn together.    Tucking a side under is a great alternative to just wearing it looped

  
  


Wear it long or looped.

  1. I found a skein of Araucania Elqui cotton yarn on sale and had to have it. It's a subtle blend of black, white, blue and aqua. Your pattern was perfect; light, airy, and casual. It will be perfect with jeans and a t- shirt, or a black linen sundress. Thank you so much for this pattern.

  2. Should I turn at the end of each row? About how long should the scarf be after 78 rows? How many skeins will I need of the yarn you used? Thanks!
