Crochet Infinity Scarf
A crochet infinity scarf is a versatile and stylish accessory that can be easily created using a crochet hook and yarn. This type of scarf features a continuous loop that drapes elegantly around the neck, offering both warmth and fashion. To make one, choose your preferred yarn and hook size, then follow a pattern that suits your desired style and complexity. Once completed, you can wear your infinity scarf in multiple ways, making it a practical and chic addition to any wardrobe.
Directions: Colorful Easy Infinity Scarf Crochet Pattern
Skill Level
Beginner Crocheter Friendly.
You should be able to work the Double Crochet stitch.
Size
13 X 60 inches
This pattern is worked the length of the scarf. The length is determined by the number of beginning chain stitches.
This pattern is easy to change the size as you chain any number of chains when beginning this cozy scarf.
The rows create the width of the scarf.
Gauge
10 stitches and 8 rows every 4 inches.
Notes
The pattern is worked in rows and then joined to become an infinity scarf.
This pattern is written in US Crochet Terms.
Turn at the end of the row.
The CH 3 at the beginning of the row counts as a double crochet.
If you are new to crochet, counting the stitches in each row will help keep the edges straight.
The last double crochet should always be placed in the top chain of the previous row initial chain two. This helps keep the rows even.
The rows are worked the length of the scarf then joined.
When changing yarn colors; end of row, leaving a 12–16-inch yarn tail of each yarn color. DO NOT weave in yarn ends until after you have joined the infinity scarf together. These will be used to join the scarf and by using the yarn color that matches each section makes the join a bit more invisible.
Optionally, you can forget joining and keep this as a gorgeous regular scarf.
When crocheting the beginning chain stitches, it can be hard to work starting chains with this many stitches and not lose track. Therefore, especially if you are a beginner crocheter, you may want to use stitch markers every 10 or 50 stitches. They are a great way to keep track of crochet stitches. While this project uses simple stitches for the stitch pattern, the long starting chain can be a bit hard to count. However, because this pattern does not use any special combination of stitch counts to start, it is still easy.

Joining the Scarf to Create a Circular Infinity Scarf
You can use any method to join the ends. A slip stitch or a single crochet through both ends. You could use the yarn needle and work a whip stitch through both ends.
Today, I chose the whip stitch using the yarn needle and the long strands of yarn that were left from the color changes.
Align the ends of the scarf. Starting where you ended your last stitch, insert the yarn needle in the stitch directly across. Bring the yarn needle back through the loop on the other side. Continue doing this until you have this color joined. Then using a matching strand from the next color section, continue working through the stitches. Repeat this for the next two colors until you reach the end.
Finishing
After joining each color section of the scarf, use your yarn needle to weave in the extra loose ends that were not used to join the scarf. Weave the yarn back and forth between the stitches at least 3-5 times. Trim off any excess yarn.
